Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli
  • 2 cups parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup low fat cheddar cheese
  • Dash of salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil or line with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Boil the broccoli in water for 1 minute then remove and shock in cold tap water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  • Chop broccoli finely and mix thoroughly with the egg, onions, cheddar, breadcrumbs, and seasoning. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the mix using your hands and gently press 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 to your hands. Next, place on your prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden brown and crispy, 18-24 minutes, turning half way. Remove from the oven and enjoy!
