Broccoli Tots Ingredients:
- 12 oz broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the broccoli: Microwave or boil broccoli until fork-tender. Finely chop into small pieces.
- Prepare the mixture: In a bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Shape the tots: Form tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into tot shapes and place on a baking pan.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly browned, shaking the pan halfway through.
Notes
- I used kitchen scissors to chop up the florets, but you can also use a food processor or blender for smaller pieces.
- Cheddar cheese adds great flavor, but mozzarella is a low-sodium option for babies.
