Start by placing the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and let them steam for 3-4 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender. You want enough bite to give them texture. Once done, remove them and set them aside to cool slightly.

In your trusty food processor, combine the steamed broccoli, eggs, sea salt, garlic powder, minced onions, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse gently until everything is well combined, but don’t over-process. You want a mixture that’s finely chopped yet still has some texture.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and form it into balls. Make sure they’re compact enough to hold together but not too dense. This recipe should yield around 12-15 bites, depending on how large you make them.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. You want it hot enough to get a nice sizzle when the broccoli bites hit the pan, so give it a minute or two.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the formed broccoli bites in the skillet. With a spatula, gently flatten each ball to resemble a patty. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they get a beautiful golden brown hue. You should hear that satisfying crunch as they cook.

Once cooked, remove the bites from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. They are best enjoyed warm and crispy, so gather your family or friends and dig in!
