Crispy, cheesy broccoli tots that are perfect for picky eaters and make a delightful snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium broccoli heads (about 550 g / 19.5 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup (60 g) almond meal or almond flour
  • ¾ packed cup (75 g) sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the broccoli. Cut the florets from the crown into medium pieces.
  3. Steam or boil: Place the stem pieces in a steamer basket and steam for 1 minute. Add the florets and steam for another 3–4 minutes until tender.
  4. Drain very well and transfer the cooked broccoli to a large bowl. Chop more finely and squeeze out excess moisture.
  5. Add grated cheddar, eggs, almond meal, minced garlic, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Scoop using a heaped tablespoon to shape the mixture into small cylinders or rounds.
  7. Place each tot on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and set, rotating the tray halfway through.
  9. Let cool a few minutes, then serve with your favorite dip.

Notes

For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and adjust almond meal accordingly. For gluten version, substitute almond meal with panko breadcrumbs.
