📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400° and spray a baking sheet well with pan spray.`

If using frozen riced broccoli, prepare it according to the package and let it cool until it is cool enough to handle. If using fresh broccoli, prepare a pot of boiling water. Cut the broccoli into florets and place it in a steamer basket over the boiling water. Cover and steam for ⏱️ 5 minutes until the florets are fork-tender. Alternatively, the broccoli can be steamed in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl with a bit of water in the bottom for ⏱️ 5 minutes.

Once cooked, place the steamed florets in a food processor and pulse for ⏱️ 10-15 seconds until you get a nice riced consistency.

Transfer the riced broccoli to a tea towel or several layers of cheesecloth and squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible. There is more liquid than you’d think, I’m usually able to squeeze out nearly a cup of liquid. Measure out 4 cups of broccoli and add to a large bowl. Add the egg, both kinds of cheeses, flour, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix together and set aside to rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes or so.

Using your hands, form the tots (about 35) that are about 1.5x.5 inches and line them up on the baking sheet leaving space between them. Bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes before removing from the oven, flip them over, and then bake for another ⏱️ 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Enjoy with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
