INGREDIENTS
Entire head of broccoli
3 tbsp Panko Bread Crumbs (for broccoli mixture)
½ cup Panko Bread Crumbs (for coating “bombs” after mixed and formed)
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 Egg
3 tbsp half & half (or buttermilk)
¼ cup grated parmesan
½ cup shredded mozzarella (not fresh mozz, make sure it’s a dry mozz)
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
Salt & pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Remove florets from stalk (leave a little of the stem on each floret) and
place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and
pepper. Place into the oven for 20 mins and the florets begin to brown
slightly on edges.
While broccoli in oven, combine rest of ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Once broccoli out of oven, place into food processor and blitz.
Mix blitzed broccoli with ingredients in bowl.
Pour ½ cup Panko into shallow dish and season.
Form broccoli mixture into shapes – meatballs, tots, fries, etc.
Coat in Panko and place on oiled sheet pan. Bake in oven (350 degrees) for
20 mins.
*for all over browning – turn broccoli bombs over halfway through baking time.
DIPPING SAUCE:
¼ mayo + ¼ plain Greek yogurt + lemon zest + juice from ½ lemon + dash of
hot sauce (to your taste) + salt and pepper
Use your imagination and add additional flavors to the bombs – bacon, jalapeno, red pepper, etc. Also – get creative with the dip. However, no dip is needed they are delicious on their own!
Take them on the road: Let Broccoli Bombs cool and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in freezer for 3 hours. Once frozen, place in airtight container and take 'em on the road. Perfect to pull out of RV freezer and pop into air fryer or oven for a snack or easy side dish.
