Ingredients

1 ½ cups cooked and finely chopped broccoli
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup breadcrumbs (or crushed Ritz crackers)
1 egg
¼ cup grated Parmesan
¼ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking spray (for air fryer)

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine broccoli, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Mix well until fully combined. Chill for 10 minutes if the mixture is too soft to handle.

Form the mixture into small balls or nuggets using your hands or a small scoop.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Place the bites in a single layer, spray the tops lightly with oil, and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.

Serve warm with ranch or marinara for dipping.
