The breaded broccoli are crunchy and tasty bites to serve at the table as a vegetarian finger food or as a side dish. I made this recipe with boiled broccoli florets, then dipped them in eggs and breadcrumbs. You can cook the breaded broccoli in the hot air fryer, in the oven, or fry them in hot oil. Simple to prepare and very tasty, the breaded broccoli will conquer everyone, even those who do not particularly like this vegetable!

Steps
To make the breaded broccoli, wash and clean the broccoli, cut it with a knife, separating the florets from the stem.
Cook the broccoli florets in plenty of boiling water. Once ready, drain them and let them cool slightly.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, in another bowl pour the breadcrumbs.
Dip the cauliflower florets in the eggs and then pass them in the breadcrumbs.
Line the basket of the hot air fryer with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Arrange the broccoli and cook them at 390°F for 10 minutes, or until golden.
For those who do not have a hot air fryer. Fry the broccoli in hot oil until golden. Or cook them in a preheated oven at 390°F for 20-25 minutes.
