Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli crowns (try to avoid as much of the thicker stalk as possible)
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup yellow onion , minced and squeezed in a paper towel to remove juices
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons minced green onions
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• canola oil spray

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with oil.

2. Add the broccoli to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes covered with a wet paper towel.

3. Mince the broccoli as small as you can and add it to the rest of the ingredients in large bowl.
4. Using a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, roll it in your hands before pressing down on the top and bottom of the ball while pressing in on the sides and rotating to make a "tot" shape.
5. Place onto the baking sheet and spray the tops of the tots with an additional bit of canola oil spray.

6. Bake for 7minutes. turn the tots and bake an additional 7 minutes.

Making these Baked Cheddar Broccoli Tots are a great alternative to regular tater tots, but you can also make them with other vegetables as well.

• Carrots make a great alternative to the broccoli and look like sweet potatoes but with less carbs.
• Cauliflower is an easy swap for the broccoli, just be sure to steam them a bit longer than the broccoli.
• Zucchini! We LOVE making this with zucchini now and have also been experimenting with half zucchini and half broccoli.
• Enjoy the fall season and make this with steamed and minced pumpkin or butternut squash!
• Any vegetable you can steam to soften will work well in this Baked Cheddar Broccoli Tots recipe.

I make tots out of everything too! I sometimes just chop up whatever leftover veggies I have and mix them together. Yummy

This looks good! 

I think I'll try using shallots instead of onions and adding minced chives and parsley. 

Anybody think they could be air fried?

1. Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer and place broccoli tots inside. Cook at 370 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
