Broccoli Bread Recipe Carb Free

When I’m in the mood for a sandwich or a slice of toast, this is my go-to recipe. I love how something that feels and tastes quite ‘bready’ is actually a serve of vegetables. I slice and freeze so I can just defrost in the toaster as needed. This broccoli bread does look very green, which I love but I’ve found my boys are much happier eating the white, cauliflower version instead.

2. Whizz your broccoli using your food processor until it looks a bit like fine couscous. Or chop as finely as possible.

4. Line a baking tray with baking (parchment) paper. Tip the broccoli mixture onto the lined tray then using your hands smooth into a rectangle about 1cm (1/3in) thick.

The term “cruciferous” is an informal way of classifying members of the mustard family of vegetables and derives from the Latin word “Cruciferae” which means “cross bearing”. Vegetables in this category are so named because their 4-petaled leaves resemble (roughly) the shape of a cross.

Broccoli is probably the most popular cruciferous vegetable here in the U.S. so it’s worth exploring new and different ways to prepare it because let’s face it, plain old steamed or roasted broccoli can get a little boring. How about trying this 3 Ingredient Broccoli Bread? It’s a fun, delicious way to eat broccoli and each slice contains the equivalent of more than 1 serving (1 cup) of broccoli. It’s also low-carb, keto, gluten-free and grain-free.

Cauliflower Broccoli Mac And Cheese

1. Broccoli – I like the convenience of using 1-pound bags of frozen broccoli so that’s what this recipe calls for, but you can definitely use fresh broccoli if you wish. In fact, this recipe is a great way to use up broccoli stalks/stems that might otherwise be discarded. If you opt for using fresh broccoli make sure to measure out 1 pound and then steam it before proceeding with the recipe. An easy way to steam broccoli is in the microwave using a recipe like this one.

2. Eggs – I’ve made the bread countless times and it doesn’t seem to matter whether you use small eggs, large eggs, or even an egg substitute. They all work, so go with whatever you have on hand.

3. Cheddar cheese – There are countless varieties of cheddar cheese on the market so have fun experimenting to create different flavor variations of this bread, just make sure that whatever kind of cheese you use, you grate if very fine. Sometimes you can buy cheddar that’s pre-grated (make sure the package says “finely” grated) but more often than not, you’ll have to grate it yourself. (If using a box grater, use the side with the smallest holes.) Don’t cheat on this step because if the cheese if not grated finely enough it won’t get evenly distributed and the bread may not hold together properly.

Air Fryer Broccoli (low Carb & Keto)

1.  Cook the broccoli – Whether you use fresh or frozen broccoli, you’ll need to cook it first. If using frozen, simply follow the directions on the package. If using fresh, steam it until it’s crisp tender. (Vegetables that are cooked crisp-tender are heated and cooked all the way through, but still have some snap to them.)

2.  Squeeze the water out of the broccoli – This is the most cumbersome part of the recipe. Once the broccoli is cooked and run through the food processor, you’ll need to squeeze all the water out of it. The easiest way to do this is using a nut milk bag (as pictured above) but you can also use a thin, clean dish towel, such as a flour sack, or a layered piece of cheese cloth. All of these methods work well, just be sure to use your muscle and squeeze as hard as you can. The more water that’s extracted from the broccoli, the better, and more bread-like, the texture will be.

3.  Mix the broccoli with the eggs and cheese – Combine the broccoli pulp with the eggs and cheese and mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and place them on a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet.

Gluten Free Broccoli Flat Bread

Flattening into circles is the easiest option and the one I choose most often because I like to use this bread for veggies burgers.

5.  Bake – 3 Ingredient Broccoli Bread takes only 12 minutes to bake. Flip the slices over during the last 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.

If you don’t plan on using 3 Ingredient Broccoli Bread the day it’s made, freeze the slices in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and then transfer to a zip lock bag and put them back in the freezer. To serve, toast the frozen bread slices for 3-4 minutes or place them in a 400-degree oven for 5-7 minutes.
