Prepare Flax Egg: In a small bowl, mix flaxseed meal with water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chopped broccoli, vegan cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and the prepared flax egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until the mixture holds together.
Shape Bites: Form the mixture into small bite-sized balls and set them aside.
Coat the Bites: Roll each ball in additional breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Cook: You can either fry or bake the bites:
To Fry: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each broccoli cheese bite until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
Tips:
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or vegan ranch.
