Start by steaming or blanching the fresh broccoli florets in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Afterward, drain them well and let them cool completely.

Once the broccoli is cool, finely chop it with a sharp knife while being careful not to puree it.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until sticky.

Scoop around a tablespoon of the sticky mixture and form it into compact balls or small patties. Optionally roll in additional breadcrumbs.

To cook your bites, fry them in medium heat oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, or bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.

Once cooked, let them cool slightly and serve warm with dipping sauces.
