Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Steam broccoli florets until tender-crisp (3-5 minutes). Allow to cool, then finely chop.
In a large bowl, combine chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and flour. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Roll small portions of the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
Cool slightly and serve warm with marinara or ranch dip. Enjoy!
Notes
For a flavor twist, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
