Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfectly baked exterior and a melty, cheesy interior.
Prepare the Broccoli:
Finely chop 2 cups of broccoli florets. You can use a food processor to make this step quicker and easier.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs. If you’re using garlic powder, add that now too. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Form the Balls:
Using your hands, take small amounts of the mixture and shape them into bite-sized balls. A tablespoon or small cookie scoop can help ensure uniform sizes. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Bake to Perfection:
