Broccoli Tots
These broccoli tots are a fun way to serve up some broccoli. They are a great way of incorporating more veggies into your little one’s meals!
Servings: 28 tots
Ingredients
- 12 oz broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 egg
- ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Add broccoli florets to a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is soft and fork-tender. You may also boil the broccoli in a small pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and finely chop into small pieces. I used kitchen scissors to finely chop the florets, but you may also use a food processor.
- Add the breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the bowl with the broccoli. Mix until well combined.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into a tot shape. Place the tots on a parchment paper-lined baking pan.
- Bake the tots for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges begin to slightly brown. Shake the pan halfway through for even browning.
Notes
- I used kitchen scissors to chop up the florets, but you can also use a food processor or blender to get smaller pieces. I left some chunks in for some added texture, but feel free to chop them up smaller for a more "tot-like" texture.
- I used cheddar cheese in this recipe for added flavor. Mozzarella cheese is a good low-sodium alternative if you are preparing these tots for a baby.
