Savory broccoli beignets are a delightful twist on the classic beignet, with the goodness of broccoli and Parmesan cheese. These crispy, golden-brown bites make for a tasty appetizer or snack.
Ingredients: 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper. 1 egg, beaten. 1/4 cup milk. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed and chopped broccoli, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, and chopped red bell pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk. Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Add the baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and mix until the batter is smooth. In a deep saucepan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350F 175C. Drop spoonfuls of the broccoli batter into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the broccoli beignets from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the savory broccoli beignets hot and enjoy!
