Broccoli Bites : Breaded and Oven Fried : Low Carb


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,
and can also help prevent obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.


Ingredients 
12 medium sized broccoli florets, lightly steamed
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
1 tbsp. parmesan cheese *optional, omit if dairy free
2 eggs, beaten
½ tbsp. butter, melted * omit if dairy free
1 tbsp. avocado oil or olive oil
1 medium to large (1 quart) zippered bag

Is oven-fried an oxymoron?

This looks great. I'm being lazy, though...I'll be steaming some broccoli shortly as part of my lunch. (My main meal of the day is always lunch....and has been for years).
