- 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp almond flour

- Mix the cooled broccoli rice, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, almond flour, and seasoning in a bowl until well combined.
- Form about 16 small balls with the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet, then gently flatten each ball to form rounds.
- Bake for 15 minutes until they start to brown, then flip and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve with ranch dressing or enjoy on their own!
Notes
Drain well to prevent sogginess. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Ensure uniform size for even cooking.
