Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut fresh broccoli into uniform bite-sized florets for even cooking.

Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.

Drain broccoli thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels.

In food processor, pulse pork rinds until they form fine crumbs.

Mix pork rind crumbs with almond flour, coconut flour, and psyllium husk.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, and paprika to flour mixture.

In large bowl, beat eggs with heavy cream and softened cream cheese.

Add half the grated cheeses to egg mixture and whisk until combined.

Season egg mixture with salt, pepper, and mustard powder to taste.

Dip each broccoli floret into egg mixture, coating completely.

Roll coated broccoli in seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Place coated florets on prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Spray coated broccoli with avocado oil for extra crispiness.

Sprinkle remaining cheese over broccoli florets generously.

Add fresh herbs, sesame seeds, and smoked paprika on top.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until coating is golden brown and crispy.

Flip florets halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.

Check for doneness - coating should be crispy and cheese melted.

Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.

For dipping sauce, mix sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, and garlic.

Season dipping sauce with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to taste.

Serve crispy broccoli bites immediately while hot and crispy.

Accompany with low-carb dipping sauce and extra cheese if desired.
