These healthy Baked Broccoli Patties are my go to for healthy on the go snacks. They are so so so delicious!
They are so yummy, you wouldn’t want to go back on your junk food binge.
What makes Broccoli so good for you?
Broccoli has cancer preventing and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to our health. They are also excellent sources of Potassium, Vitamin C, K, fiber and other vitamins. Health researchers recommend eating ½ cup of broccoli everyday to reap maximum benefits but of course eating too much of the same kind of food can be rather uninteresting. Although broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables, sometimes eating them in its usual form “ quarters/ florets of broccoli on my plate” can be quite boring. So I decided to turn to something different that makes it more pleasing to the eye – Broccoli patties!
Burger patties, potato patties, fish patties- you have heard them all so why not broccoli patties. And because they are so easy to prepare, you wouldn’t mind making a big batch of them and keeping them over a few days. It can be eaten as sides to a meal, replace your “Bread” for breakfast or as a healthy on the go snack. Here’s my version of a guilt free nutritious power packed snack.
