Tips:

  • For a crispier tot, use a combination of fresh and frozen broccoli.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the broccoli before adding it to the mixture. This will help prevent the tots from being soggy.
  • Use a food processor to finely chop the broccoli. This will help ensure that the tots are evenly cooked.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a grater to shred the broccoli. Just be sure to grate it finely.
  • Be careful not to overmix the tot mixture. Overmixing will make the tots tough.
  • When cooking the tots, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help ensure that the tots cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when cooking the tots. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the tots immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Broccoli tots are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give broccoli tots a try!
