Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bring a kettle of water to a boil and pour over the broccoli in a heat-safe bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Drain well.

Add the broccoli, rice, cheese, Parmesan, eggs, and breadcrumbs to the bowl of a food processor. Add salt and either Italian seasoning or cumin if desired.

Grind very well to make a uniform batter. If the batter doesn't seem to be holding together well, add another tablespoon or so of breadcrumbs.

Portion into 1-tablespoon size ovals and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 25-27 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly golden brown. Alternatively, cook in an air fryer at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes on a greased tray. Let cool slightly and serve.
