Broccoli Cheddar Dunkers (Low Carb)
A delicious and simple way to get your vegetables in. Broccoli and cheddar formed into dunkers, crispy on the outside and yummy on the inside.
We really enjoyed making these and consuming them. Only a few main ingredients needed to create this classic flavor combo of cheddar and broccoli. These are gluten free and low carb. I called them dunkers because they ended up as the shape of the Trader Joe’s chocolate chip dunker cookies. Perfect for dunking into my Lazy Tzatziki Dip.
