Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to bake these. For frying, heat some oil in a pan over medium heat.

Wash and finely chop the broccoli florets. Steam them for about 5 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant green. Drain and let them cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the almond flour and mix until the mixture holds together well.

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then incorporate them into your broccoli mixture, mixing thoroughly until fully combined.

Shape the mixture into small round patties, about 1-2 inches wide and ½ inch thick.

For baking: Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden and crispy.

For frying: Add the patties to the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

If you fry them, let the rounds cool slightly on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Serve them warm and crispy, alongside your favorite dip!
