Like so many kids, mine used to LOVE tater tots. But as they got older and experimented with new food, they realized that they could be eating a little healthier.
Veggie tots like these made with broccoli are simple to make and tot-ally delicious. Get the pun there?
These tots are baked, not fried, yield 30 and can be ready in 30 minutes from start to finish.
I haven't tried this recipe in an air fryer so I'm not sure how long it would take; however, I'm sure it would work in there as well.
Equipment
Ingredients Needed
For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients:
Defrosted Riced Frozen Broccoli: For ease, I used already riced broccoli. However, you can use fresh steamed broccoli; then place it in a food processor and pulse until its riced or chopped in small pieces.
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Italian Flavored Breadcrumbs
Eggs
Cooking Spray
How do you make Broccoli Tots?
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; then preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the riced broccoli, cheese, breadcrumbs and eggs in a medium bowl and mix together.
Portion out 1 tablespoon of the mixture using a cookie scoop, place on the sheet pan and gently form a rectangle shape to form a tot. Repeat for all.
Spray the tops with cooking spray; then cook for 15 minutes until light brown and crispy on the outside. You can serve by themselves or with a marinara sauce for dipping.
