- Bake the broccoli Balls in the oven at 190 ºC for 25 minutes or until ready to serve. This is a much healthier way of consuming them since we avoid excess oil.
- Tip: If you want, you can keep them in the fridge overnight or cook them fried; they are very crunchy!
- Ready to serve! Now that you know how to make broccoli and cheese Balls go ahead and prepare them and accompany them with your favourite sauce, which can be a simple tomato sauce or a more elaborate one, such as curry sauce.
- If you prefer, you can also eat this dish without sauce, as it could also be considered broccoli fritters.
