Crispy and Yummy Brocolli Burgers

I know it’s green, and that may scare some kids away, but I find my kids enjoy these, even the picky ones. Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that is rich in vitamins and minerals. They also contain phytonutrients that lower inflammation. Additionally, they are high in fiber and plant-based omega-3s called alpha-linolenic acid. You already know that I am a fan of getting as many omegas in the diet as possible.
