Broccoli Fritters
Baked Broccoli Fritters are vegan, gluten-free and perfect for someone on a candida diet. They were a huge hit in my home! They tasted just right and my husband enjoyed them very much. I used flaxseed and chickpea flour as binders and must say that they worked very well in this recipe. They were not crumbly at all and I didn’t have to use any additional liquid after I washed the broccoli.
I didn’t steam the broccoli beforehand because broccoli cooks very fast, so I process the raw broccoli in the food processor. I don’t like to fry my food so I use a little oil then I cover the skillet after I turn the fritters and allow to cook on low. Have you tried using a ceramic non-stick pan? I have one for over a year now but it is now sticking so I had to revert to my faithful Stainless Steel Skillet, which doesn’t cause my food to stick. Try baking these fritters instead on 400 degrees preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway. You can make your own chickpea flour by processing dried chickpeas in a high-speed blender then straining through a fine mesh strainer.

Ingredients:
- 1 medium head broccoli florets (about 3 cups processed)
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup Chickpea Flour
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or more for cooking
Directions:
- Place broccoli florets, onion, cilantro and garlic in batches in a food processor and process until crumbly (looks like rice grains). Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in chickpea flour, flaxseed meal, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt. Mix well and squeeze together like you are forming a dough. Heat oil on medium in a large skillet. Form into patties about 1/4 cup, place fritters in the skillet, reduce heat to low and cook fritters on each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown. These are lightly fried and not deep fried. What I do is cover the skillet after I turn them to make sure the fritters are well cooked in the middle. Delicious served with guacamole.
