Steps
1 Done | Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until just tender-crisp. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. |
2 Done | In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. |
3 Done | In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and a tablespoon of water. |
4 Done | Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped broccoli, taking care not to overmix. |
5 Done | Pour enough vegetable oil into a pan or skillet to reach a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering. |
6 Done | Using a spoon or your hands, form small patties of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. |
7 Done | Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like yogurt sauce, tahini sauce, or even ketchup. |
