CHEESY BROCCOLI TOTS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper or nonstick foil and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
• Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, to thaw. Drain REALLY well.
• Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne.
• Add the cheddar and the almond flour, then add the thawed and drained broccoli. Use a large spoon to mix everything together. Mix thoroughly, making sure all broccoli pieces are coated.
• Use a heaping 1.5-tablespoon scoop to transfer mounds of the mixture into the baking sheet. You should get about 24 tots. Make sure they don't touch each other. Lightly spray the tots with olive oil.
• Bake the tots for 15 minutes on the first side and for 10 more minutes on the second side, until browned. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.

BROCCOLI FRANKENTOTS WITH LEMON-GARLIC MAYO

Steps:

• For the dip: Mix the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and plenty of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the broccoli tots: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water.
• Add the broccoli florets and stems to the boiling water and cook until a very vibrant green and lightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the broccoli and immediately submerge into the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. You want the broccoli to remain as green as possible. Squeeze the broccoli in clean dish towels to remove as much of the water as possible.
• Add the broccoli to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until finely chopped. Add the parsley, chives, lemon zest and juice, garlic and onion and pulse until the mixture is well combined and no large chunks of any ingredient remain (you should have about 3 1/2 cups of the broccoli mixture). Transfer to a large bowl and add the breadcrumbs, egg, red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper and mix to combine. You want the mixture to hold together when formed into a ball.
• Using a tablespoon as a guide, scoop the mixture from the bowl, roll into balls (each ball should weigh about 21 grams) and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining broccoli mixture (you should have about 28 tots). Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a pot with vegetable oil so it comes about 2 inches up the sides. Fit the pot with a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
• Fry the tots in 2 to 3 batches until the outsides are a deep golden brown, the insides are still very green and the tots are warmed throughout, 2 to 3 minutes (be sure not to overcrowd the pot or the oil will drop too dramatically in temperature and the outside of the tots will not be crispy). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the tots to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Be sure to bring your oil back to temperature between each batch. Serve immediately with the dip.

BROCCOLI CAULIFLOWER VEGETABLE TOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400-degrees Fahrenheit
• In a food processor, pulse the cooked and cooled vegetables along with the salt and pepper until creamy, but still slightly chunky.
• Remove the vegetables to a bowl and mix with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, egg and flour.
• Place the panko bread crumbs into a shallow dish.
• Use two tablespoons or a small ice cream scoop to drop large dollops of the vegetable mix into the dish of panko crumbs.
• Gently roll the vegetable tots in the panko crumbs until thoroughly coated. Once coated re-roll the tots into uniform balls.
• Place the coated tots on a baking sheet that has been liberally sprayed with olive oil spray. Lightly spray the tots with a coating of olive oil spray.
• Bake the broccoli cauliflower tots in a preheated 400-degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet and turn the tots over. Return the vegetable tots to the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until browned and crispy.
• Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.
