Ingredients You Will Need

Ingredients measurements are listed further down below

Head Broccoli, chopped into florets: do use fresh broccoli and not frozen
Eggs: Large-sized eggs
Milk: any milk of your choice, I like using 2% milk
Almond Flour: used to keep this low carb, but you can use any other flour like oat flour
Grated Parmesan Cheese: grate your own or store-bought will work just fine
Grated Cheddar Cheese
Garlic Powder and Salt

How To Make It

In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk and set aside. In another bowl, stir the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt.
Preheat oven to 400 F and prepare a sheet pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
Dip a floret in the egg mixture and then the almond flour mixture until completely coated.
Place on the sheet pan and repeat until you use all the florets. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Broccoli good for you?

Broccoli itself is a very healthy vegetable to add to your diet. Whether they are baked, steamed, or roasted. According to Healthline, broccoli is full of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, K, and A, folate, calcium, and iron. They are high in fiber which helps with digestion and low in calories!

Is it better to boil or bake broccoli?

I prefer steaming, stir-frying, or baking broccoli. It is believed that boiling broccoli will cause it to lose some of its health benefits like chlorophyll, vitamin C, and total carotenoids.

Why is my broccoli soggy in the oven?

Broccoli holds a lot of water. You may have used frozen broccoli or the broccoli still had a lot of water when you washed it. Try using fresh broccoli if possible and pat the broccoli dry really well with a paper towel
