Low-Carb Crispy Broccoli Cheese Rounds are a delightful snack that combines the goodness of broccoli with the richness of cheese, perfect for those looking for a low-carb option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form small rounds, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each round slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rounds are golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some cooked bacon bits or diced jalapeños into the mixture.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different taste profile.
