Cheese Broccoli Fritters
As adults, we know that broccoli is an amazing vegetable that is incredibly good for you. Broccoli is a powerful antioxidant, full of nutrients, fibre, and a concentrated source of vitamin C. It is also very affordable all year round in comparison with other superfoods, such as blueberries or avocados.Β
Unfortunately, my little fella doesn't share my love for this green vegetable. So what shall I do? The answer is: camouflage, hide, and be creative! Let's add some fun and flavour to the old good broccoli so your kids will eat it.Β
These fritters are very easy to make and can be enjoyed by the whole family. They are also perfect for taking to work or packing in your kids' lunchboxes. It's best served with the natural, thick, unsweetened Greek Yoghurt or sour cream.

These broccoli and cheese fritters are my go-to recipe to sneakily hide scary looking cooked broccoli florets from my toddler. The vibrant green colour of these fritters and cheese taste, that most kids like so much, make it appealing to even the fussiest eater and is definitely a win-win.
Ingredients
500g broccoli florets, raw
2 eggs, large or 3 eggs, small (organic if possible)
80g Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp dried dill or dried herbs
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Steam broccoli just until fork-tender.
Blend all ingredients into a food processor just until ο¬nely chopped.
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan. Drop a tablespoon of the broccoli mixture onto the hot oil, ο¬attering with a spatula.
Cook, on a very low heat, both sides until golden.
