Step-by-Step Instructions

Chop fresh broccoli florets into small pieces and place them in a large microwave-safe bowl with water. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Once cooled slightly, transfer broccoli to a mixing bowl. Add flour, cheese, and eggs; mix until creamy. Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, and pepper, combining thoroughly.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop the mixture into the hot oil, flattening lightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Continue with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Keep cooked fritters warm on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
