If you’re looking for a tasty and simple way to get more veggies into your day, these Broccoli Fritters are an absolute winner. Packed with loads of broccoli, they’re not only delicious but also keto-friendly and gluten-free – perfect for a nourishing lunch, snack, or light dinner.

This beautiful recipe comes from the team at Mana Retreat in the Coromandel, a truly magical place that holds a special spot in my heart. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate – you’ll be blown away. From the stunning native bush walks and breathtaking views to the peaceful chapel at the top of the hill (with the most incredible acoustics for a spontaneous sing-along), Mana is perfectly wonderful.

These fritters are just a little taste of the Mana experience – simple, nourishing, and made to be shared. Give them a go and bring a little Coromandel magic into your kitchen!

Gluten Free Keto Broccoli Fritters

Ingredients

1 medium head, broccoli florets

1/2 medium onion, roughly chopped

1/4 cup cilantro

2 cloves garlic

1/2 cup chickpea flour

2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon salt

Coconut oil for shallow frying

Instructions

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.

Alternatively, you can bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprayed with cooking spray in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, turning halfway. Serve with my vegan ranch dressing.
