Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4 (about 24 bites)

Difficulty: Easy

Course: Appetizer, Snack

Cuisine: Keto, American

kcal: Approximately 140 kcal per 6 bites

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: A pinch of cayenne pepper for a kick of heat
• Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the finely chopped broccoli florets and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is slightly tender. Alternatively, you can blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1-2 minutes and then drain well.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the microwaved broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, beaten eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Optional: For a touch of heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
5. Use a spatula or your hands to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are well combined and form a dough-like consistency.
6. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture and shape it into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
7. Flatten the balls slightly to create the shape of bite-sized discs.
8. Bake the Keto Broccoli Cheddar Bites in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
9. Once the bites are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
10. Serve the Keto Broccoli Cheddar Bites warm as a delicious and nutritious snack.

Note: These bites can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
