• Tips
  – For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of almond flour to the mixture.
  – To make the fries even crispier, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
• Variations
  – For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cheese alternatives (e.g., nutritional yeast).
  – To make it gluten-free, ensure that the ranch seasoning is gluten-free.
  – For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese (e.g., cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella) and a flax egg.
  – For a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper to the mixture.
  – Add chopped herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
• Prep Ahead
  – The broccoli can be steamed and chopped a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  – The mixture can be prepared and shaped into fries, then stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours before baking.
  – These fries can be made in advance and reheated in the oven for 5-7 minutes at 350°F.
