| 2 cups | Broccoli, raw | |
| 2 cups | Cheddar, cheese, shredded | |
| 1 (ea. 1.76 oz) | Egg, large | |
| 2 tbsp | Almond Flour, partially de-oiled | |
| 1 tsp | Italian Seasoning Spice Mix | |
| 16.58 oz | altogether (view nutrition facts) |
Preparation
- Serving size:3.30 oz (calculated)Notes: 5 tots, each with a diameter of about 2 in (5 cm) and a thickness of about 1/8 in (3 mm)
- Temperature: 400 °F (preheated, circulating air)
- In a food processor, blend the broccoli until it resembles rice.
- Microwave it on high for 3 minutes. (If using frozen broccoli and the cooked "rice" is wet, drain it and squeeze out the excess liquid.)
- Combine the cooked broccoli with the shredded cheddar, egg, almond flour and Italian seasoning. You should get a somewhat crumbly, sticky mix.
- Form balls from 1 tablespoon of the mix each. I like to use a measuring spoon for this, pressing in the mix to form a somewhat stable half-sphere. The tots are quite fragile before they are baked.
- Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and press flat, for example with the bottom of a glass, wrapped with cling film to prevent the mix from sticking to the glass. The tots should be about 1/8 in or 3 mm thick.
- Bake until the edges start to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Flip over, for example using a spatula, and finish baking for another 8 to 10 minutes. The tops should be golden brown.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Enjoy the crisp tots by themselves or with a dipping sauce, for example marinara sauce.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. It's best to reheat the tots in the oven. Like this they have a crisper texture than if you microwave them. Alternatively, reheat them in a pan on the stovetop.
