Broccoli Cheese Tots

It's amazing how if I add a vegetable to the name Steven becomes instantly excited. The man loves vegetables. Maybe I wouldn't be sneaking dessert alone if I made spinach brownies.

These are pretty much Cauliflower Cheese Tots but with broccoli and were instantly declared blog worthy by produce-enthused old man.

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2/3 cups shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup panko
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • ketchup or sriracha to serve
Preheat the oven to 400F and have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper ready.

Blanch the broccoli for 1 minute in boiling water shock it with ice water.  Drain well and pat dry.

Finely chop the broccoli and mix with the rest of the ingredients (aside from ketchup). Scoop the mixture up with your hands and squeeze out any excess liquid to an empty bowl. Form into tot shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Repeat until done.
