Ingredients
2 medium broccoli (about 550 g / 19.5 oz)
2 eggs
¾ cup (60 g) almond meal/flour
¾ packed cup (75 g) sharp cheddar cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp salt (optional – omit for babies)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut broccoli florets into medium pieces. Peel the tough outer layer of the stem and chop into small chunks.
Steam or boil broccoli stems for 1 minute, then add florets and cook for another 3–4 minutes until soft. Drain thoroughly.
Finely chop the cooked broccoli and transfer to a large bowl.
Add eggs, almond flour, cheddar cheese, garlic, and salt. Mix well, mashing larger pieces as needed.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and shape into small tots. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray with oil (optional) for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Drain broccoli well to avoid soggy tots.
For extra crispiness, flip tots halfway through baking.
Great for toddlers—just skip the salt.
Can be frozen and reheated for quick snacks.
