How to Make These Cheesy, Crunchy, Broccoli Tots
Makes 22–25 tots
Ingredients
- 1 Once Upon a Farm Broccoli, Pea & Navy Bean Plant-Rich Meal
- 3 cups frozen broccoli florets, steamed and cooled.
- ½ cup lightly packed shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt*
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup almond flour
*Omit salt if child is under 1 year old.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- Cook Plant-Rich Meal according to package directions and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, steam broccoli until tender. Transfer broccoli to cutting board and blot with a towel to absorb excess moisture. Chop broccoli into small pieces.
- Add chopped broccoli, cooked Plant-Rich Meal, cheese and egg to medium bowl; stir until combined. Add almond flour and spices, stirring and mashing until well combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into your hands and roll into cylinder-like shapes and place on a lined baking sheet. (TIP: hands will get a little messy as you create the tots, keep a towel close by). You should get about 22–25 tots, depending on the size of your scoop.
- Bake tots on lined baking sheet for 20–24 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool and serve with your favorite dipping sauce and sides, or enjoy as a snack!
