Broccoli Cheddar Tots
Broccoli Cheddar Tots are a delicious and nutritious snack made from finely chopped broccoli mixed with plenty of cheese and baked until crispy perfection! They are the perfect healthier alternative to traditional tater tots, and a hit to both kids and adults alike!
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the broccoli from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl filled with ice water.
- Drain then transfer the broccoli to a cutting board. Make sure the broccoli is dried off (I did this by blotting it with some paper towels)Chop up the broccoli into small pieces.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a a baking sheet with parchment paper.Add chopped broccoli to a large bowl along with cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, seasonings, panko and egg.
- Portion into tater tot shapes and place on the prepared baking sheet. (I find the tighter you pack the tater tots the better they stay together)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes flipping halfway or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce! Ketchup is our favorite!
