Ingredients

For the Fritters

2 cups broccoli florets approximately 180g
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese about 100g
¼ cup almond flour about 28g
2 large eggs
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil for frying about 60ml

For the Spicy Aioli

½ cup mayonnaise about 120ml
1 tbsp Sriracha sauce about 15ml
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp lemon juice about 5ml
Salt to taste

Instructions

Begin by steaming the broccoli florets until they are tender but still firm. Once steamed, finely chop the florets into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded mozzarella, almond flour, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the broccoli mixture into the hot oil, flattening it slightly to form a fritter. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
For the spicy aioli, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust the spiciness to your liking by adding more or less Sriracha.
Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the warm broccoli fritters with a dollop of the spicy aioli on top or on the side for dipping.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, you can substitute the mozzarella with a dairy-free cheese alternative that melts well.

You can adjust the level of spice in your aioli by adding more or less Sriracha sauce.

The fritters can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven for best texture.

Ensure the olive oil is hot before adding the broccoli mixture to prevent the fritters from being oily.
