Description

These broccoli tots are a delicious and simple way to enjoy a favorite vegetable. Imagine tender broccoli florets, finely chopped and blended with the nutty richness of parmesan cheese and the subtle sweetness of almond flour. This combination creates a base that's both flavorful and satisfyingly textured.

The preparation is straightforward. The ingredients are easily combined, transforming into a mixture that's simple to handle and shape. Forming the tots is a tactile and engaging process, allowing you to customize their size and shape to your preference.

Whether you prefer them small and bite-sized or larger and more substantial, the choice is yours. The cooking process begins with a quick sauté, where the tots develop a beautifully golden and slightly crispy crust. This initial sear not only enhances their visual appeal but also adds a delightful textural contrast to the soft interior.

Following the sauté, a gentle bake in the oven ensures that the tots are cooked through, melding the flavors and creating a cohesive and comforting dish. Once baked, the broccoli tots emerge as golden-brown nuggets, ready to be enjoyed. The aroma is inviting, a blend of savory cheese and earthy broccoli.

The taste is a symphony of flavors, with the parmesan providing a salty, umami richness that complements the mild sweetness of the broccoli and the subtle nuttiness of the almond flour. The texture is equally appealing, a delightful contrast between the crisp exterior and the tender, slightly yielding interior. These broccoli tots are perfect as a side dish, a snack, or even as a light meal.

They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, from creamy aioli to tangy marinara, allowing you to customize the flavor profile to your liking. These are a great way to add some extra veggies to your dinner!

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place broccoli florets and parmesan cheese in a food processor and pulse until finely crumbled.
