Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and blanch the fresh broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green. Transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking, then drain and pat dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli with cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, grated parmesan, and egg. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Scoop portions of the filling and roll into balls about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined plate.

Roll each popper in panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Place the coated poppers in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray with cooking spray and air fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

Allow the poppers to cool for about 2 minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
