Why You Will Love it!
This easy kid-friendly Broccoli Cheese Sticks Recipe is actually pretty low carb as well. I am not too familiar with the Keto diet, so I am not quite sure about that one!
Most bread crumbs have about 78 carbs per cup, broccoli has about 3 carbs per cup, eggs are about 1 carb each and cheddar cheese - depending on which brand you buy - has about 3 carbs in a cup.
As this recipe breaks down into 16 servings, each serving is about 5.5 carbs. Not bad for a tasty little snack while on a low carb diet!
This Broccoli Cheese Sticks recipe was inspired by our , and makes for a great appetizer recipe like our Chicken Wing Charcuterie Board!

Directions for making this Easy Kid-Friendly Broccoli Cheese Sticks Recipe
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a steamer pot, steam frozen broccoli under tender, and then let it cool.
Place the cooked broccoli in a food processor with a standard "s" blade. Process until smooth, it should take about 30 seconds. If you do not have a food processor, you can use a potato masher or a hand chopper.
In a large bowl, add bread crumbs, cheese, eggs and broccoli, then mix it together well.
Pour mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet and shape into a large rectangle (it should be about 8 x 12 inches). With a rubber spatula, cut into 8 sticks, and then cut those 8 into half to create 16 sticks. They should end up being about 1 ½" by 4 inches.
Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees and then turn them over. Bake for another 15 minutes, or if you want them crispier, bake for an additional 5 minutes at a time until they reach the desired crispiness.
I baked mine for a total of 30 minutes, 15 minutes on each side.
