Broccoli Tots

If you like broccoli- you will love these little broccoli tots! What a fun way for the entire family to enjoy some vegetables!!

What you need:

- A bundle of broccoli

- 3 egg whites

- 2/3 cup mozzarella or sharp cheddar cheese

- 1/2 cup whole grain unseasoned bread crumbs

- 1 tbsp of italian seasoning

- salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray pan with EVOO spray

2. Chop broccoli and cook in boiling water for 2 minutes. Rinse the broccoli under cool water and dry with paper towels.

3. Using a food processor, finely chop the broccoli

4. In a medium bowl combine the bread crumbs, seasonings and cheese, mix well. Add in the broccoli, mix well. Add in the egg whites, mix well.  I used my hands to mix!

5. Roll the broccoli mixture into small (a little over 1 tbsp each) balls and press them flat a little in your hand.

6. Place them onto the cookie sheet and bake for 16-18 minutes, flipping over halfway through.

This makes about 28 broccoli tots!!
