Here's a different idea!
Oven fried Breaded Broccoli Bites are an easy, tasty way to enjoy broccoli.
They can be enjoyed as a low carb snack or side dish

Broccoli has so many nutritional benefits,

⅓ cup almond flour
⅓ raw sunflower seeds, no shell, ground
1 tsp garlic powder
½ sea salt
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp dried parsley
