In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Broccoli microgreens, flour, egg replacement, Parmesan, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Preheat a cast iron or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot and add Grapeseed oil. Gently shape the fritters with your hands and place into the cooking pan.Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the fritters. Try to only flip once so there is less chance of the fritters falling apart. Cook them for 1-2 mins till golden brown to insure they are cooked thoroughly. Serve warm.
