Lately I have been on a diet kick, trying to shed some pounds before my wedding in September. I am one that can get bored with things easy; so by week three I am done with steam veggies! I was surfing Pinterest last night looking for a new way to do veggies and I was intrigued by the broccoli fritters and broccoli bites I was finding. Most of the recipes were similar to each other and similar to a meat ball recipe. The broccoli in this case was like the ground meat. Below is the recipe I created for Broccoli Cakes:
Broccoli Cakes
2 c. Steam Broccoli, chopped small
1/2 c. Bread Crumbs
3 Eggs
1/3 c. Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
Seasoning of choice (or use flavored bread crumbs)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl, making sure to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Should be a similar consistency to meat balls and should hold together when you form a ball. Then for patties about the width of your palm and 1.5-2 inches thick. Place patties on parchment lines baking sheet. Cook for 25 minutes. After 15 minutes flip and add a small sprinkle of extra cheese on each, if desired. Then cook for the remaining 10 minutes.
These little guys were the perfect addition to our steak and sweet potatoes! |
What other recipes do you know of that can change up veggies in a fun way? I saw cauliflower tots and might try those soon too! Enjoy!
