Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ cups broccoli finely chopped
½ large yellow onion finely minced
4 cloves garlic finely minced
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet or sauté pan. Add the broccoli, onion, garlic, and salt to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft and tender (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 ½ cups broccoli, ½ large yellow onion, 4 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon salt
While the vegetables are cooking, mix together the eggs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable mixture to the cheese and breadcrumbs and stir well to combine.
2 eggs, 1 cup cheddar cheese, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Portion the broccoli bite mixture into 12 equal-sized balls (approximately the size of a golf ball). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat the air fryer to 390°F. Place the broccoli bites inside the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
