Prep & Cooking

● Cook Time: 20 minutes

● Total Time: 30 minutes

● Servings: 2–3

Ingredients

● 1 cup broccoli, finely grated

● 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

● 1 large egg

● 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning

● ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional

● Ranch dressing, for serving

Instructions

① Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

② Finely grate the broccoli. If it feels very wet, gently squeeze out some excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

③ In a bowl, combine the broccoli, cheddar, egg, ranch seasoning, and Parmesan if using. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

④ Scoop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape them into small fry-like sticks. Keep them fairly compact so they hold together while baking.

⑤ Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the fries feel firm.

⑥ Let them cool for 2–3 minutes before carefully removing them from the parchment.

⑦ Serve warm with ranch dressing or your favorite low-carb dip. Enjoy! 👌
