Air Fryer Crispy Broccoli Cheese Bites

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Prepare the Broccoli:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the chopped broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Make the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the Bites:
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form all the bites.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Air Fry the Bites:
- Lightly spray the broccoli cheese bites with cooking spray or olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
- Place the bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Serve:
- Once done, carefully remove the bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
