Ingredients
Broccoli
Cheddar cheese
Egg
Breadcrumbs
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Salt

Instructions
Finely chop or pulse the broccoli until it resembles rice.
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, shredded cheddar, egg, breadcrumbs, and seasonings.
Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and shape into small, tight ovals or cylinders.
Place tots on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
Optionally broil for the last 2–3 minutes for extra crunch.
Cool slightly and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Drain broccoli well before mixing to avoid soggy tots.
Freeze after baking for quick snacks later.
Pair with yogurt dip, spicy ketchup, or ranch.
