These were so delicious. I changed them up a little because I did not add any cheese and used regular Gluten Free breadcrumbs instead of Panko but Oh my gosh they were yummy.
My boyfriend is a Broccoli-aholic. He would be happy eating chicken, rice and broccoli for dinner every single day. Me on the other hand, not so much. Its not that I don't like it, but it isn't in my top 10 favorite vegetables.
I love Tater Tots however and with my food allergies it is impossible for me to find frozen/ pre-done ones and honestly I don't really want to make them from scratch.
So when I saw this recipe online I was thinking that WHOA they combined one of my favorites with Pats .. match made in heaven? Actually yes ! As previously mentioned they were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and super easy to make.
To make these delicious Tots the broccoli has to be steamed or boiled. Once tender (and cool enough to touch) chop into small pieces and in a bowl mix with egg, breadcrumbs, seasonings, and cheese. I added some Hot Sauce and Chili powder to give it a kick.
It helps to refrigerate the mixture briefly (15–30 minutes) to help it firm up and make the shaping process easier. To form your tots, use your hands to shape the mixture into a tot-like form. Then, place them on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Tip: make sure you use non-stick sheets or foil .. I didn't and it was a bit of a pain to flip them
Enjoy :)
