Healthy Baked Broccoli Tots

Those little toddlers are very just like the cauliflower little toddlers recipe I shared some months in the past, except they're made with broccoli and are a bit extra simpler to deal with and form. hey're additionally lots plenty tastier ( now not that the cauliflower toddlers aren’t suitable, they are indeed! ).

To make those children you’re going to want to blanch 2 cups of broccoli in boiling water, just for a few seconds. Then cube the broccoli into tiny pieces. You could also pulse the broccoli in a food process for some seconds however then you'll hazard turning them into a puree. If whatever plus then no greater than 2-3 pluses and stop once you reach a “rice” texture.

INGREDIENTS :

1 large egg
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup italian breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley ( or cilantro rosemary,
2 cups or 12 ounces uncooked or frozen broccoli

INSTRUCTIONS :

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil or line with parchment paper and set aside.
Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute then remove and shock with cold tap water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
Chop broccoli finely and mix throughly with the egg, onions, cheddar, breadcrumbs, and seasoning. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of mix using a ice-cream scoop or your hands and gently press between your hands into a firm ball then shape into a tater-tot shape. It helps to wash your hands after every few tots to keep them from sticking onto your hands. Next, Place on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown and crispy, 18-24 minutes, turning half way. Remove from the oven and enjoy hot with ketchup, sriracha, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce!
