My neighbor brought this to every block party growing up. Only 3 ingredients for a crispy, savory appetizer that feels like a cheat meal.

Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Steam or boil the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain completely and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Finely chop the blanched broccoli. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), beaten eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until fully combined.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the foil-lined baking sheet. Press each mound down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula to form flat, round patties.

Bake at 400°F / 200°C for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are dark golden brown and crispy. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set before serving.
