Equipment

1 Baking Sheet

Ingredients

1 medium broccoli florets (head) or approximately 3 1/2 cups of 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 the mixture is crumbly (looks like rice grains).
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in chickpea flour, flaxseed meal, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well and squeeze together as if you are forming a dough.
Heat the oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Form into patties with about 1/4 cup's worth of mixture. Place fritters in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook fritters on each side for about 4 minutes until golden brown.
These are lightly pan-fried, not deep-fried. What I like to do is cover the skillet after I turn it to make sure the fritters are well-cooked in the middle.
Alternatively, you can bake the fritters on a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper and sprayed with cooking spray in a preheated oven at 400℉ for 30 minutes, turning halfway.
Serve with my vegan ranch dressing.
