Broccoli Tots

SERVES: 5

COOK TIME: 25 Min

Potato tots are great, but they're not the best idea for anyone following a diabetic diet. That's why we came up with a healthier version using broccoli. Our Broccoli Tots are perfect for snacking on or for serving alongside any of your favorite main dishes.

What You'll Need

3 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place broccoli in boiling water and blanche 2 minutes; drain well.
Finely chop broccoli and place in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. Shape about a heaping tablespoon of broccoli mixture into "tater tot" shape and place on baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture is used.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
