Crispy Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

2. Steam and Chop the Broccoli
Steam the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes, until tender.

Drain well and finely chop the broccoli into small pieces.

3. Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
✅ Chopped broccoli
✅ Breadcrumbs
✅ Cheddar cheese & Parmesan
✅ Eggs
✅ Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika

Stir everything together until well mixed.

4. Shape the Balls
Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball.

Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Place the broccoli balls on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake Until Crispy
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.

6. Serve & Enjoy
Let them cool slightly before serving.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli.
