TRY BAKED BROCCOLI TOTS A healthier version of a classic tater tot.
Your kids might not even notice the difference!
PREP TIME: 15 mins | COOK TIME: 20 mins | TOTAL TIME: 35 mins
INGREDIENTS
2 cups or 12 ounces uncooked or frozen broccoli 1 large egg
1⁄4 cup diced yellow onion
1⁄3 cup cheddar cheese
1⁄3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1⁄3 cup italian breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons parsley (or cilantro, rosemary) 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil cooking spray or line with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute then remove and shock with cold tap water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
3. Chop broccoli into fine pieces and mix thoroughly with the egg, onions, cheddar, breadcrumbs and seasoning. Scoop about 11⁄2 tablespoons of mix using an ice cream scoop or your hands and gently press into a firm ball then shape into a tater-tot. It helps to wash your hands after every few tots to keep them from sticking. Place them on your prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 18-24 minutes, turning halfway. Remove from the oven and enjoy hot with ketchup, sriracha, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce!
