Broc-Tots

Ingredients

• 12 ounces broccoli florets (or about 4 cups)
• 2 ounces white cheddar (about ¾ cup grated)
• ⅓ cup gluten-free panko breadcrumb (regular will work too)
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°
2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for about 3-5 minutes, just until tender, but not mushy. Drain the broccoli in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and keep the bright green color.
3. Add the broccoli to a food processor, and pulse (about 10 times) until fine and crumbly, but not a paste. Combine the rest of the ingredients with the broccoli in a large mixing bowl. Stir well so that everything is evenly distributed. The mix will be a little crumbly, but they’ll hold together once you start shaping them.
4. Measure out about a tablespoon of the broccoli mix, shaping them into little tater-tot shaped cylinders in your palm. It might take a minute to get the hang of it, but once you do, it’ll go by fast. Place the shaped tot standing on a parchment lined baking sheet. You should get about 20-24 with this batch.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking time.
