- 12 ounces (~2 C) uncooked or frozen broccoli
- 1 LG egg
- ¼ C onion (diced)
- ⅓ C cheddar cheese
- ⅓ C panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ C italian breadcrumbs
- 2 TBS parsley
- ½ TSP salt
- ½ TSP pepper
Oven: 400°
- Grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil or line with parchment paper and set aside.
- Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute then remove and shock with cold tap water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Chop broccoli finely and mix throughly with the egg, onions, cheddar, breadcrumbs and seasoning. Scoop ~1½ tablespoons of mix using a ice-cream scoop or your hands and gently press between your hands into a firm ball then shape into a tater-tot shape. It helps to wash your hands after every few tots to keep them from sticking onto your hands. Place on your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown and crispy, 18-24 minutes, turning half way. Remove from the oven and enjoy hot.
