These cheesy broccoli tots are perfect for dunking in ranch or ketchup and the whole family loves them! We like to serve these up with burgers and other kid friendly meals for a healthier dinner that everyone enjoys.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the broccoli florets in a mixing bowl along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 minutes. Let sit for 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap and drain the liquid from the bowl.
Add the broccoli to the bowl of a food processor or blender along with the remaining ingredients.
Process until you have a finely ground mixture.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the mixture and then shape with your hands into tots.
Place on the prepared baking sheet and spritz lightly with nonstick spray to help the tots crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Serve hot.

Notes
Using a small cookie scoop yields evenly sized tots every time, which helps them bake up better and makes it easier to calculate nutrition. We use our cookie scoops often for all kinds of things - highly recommend. These should work wonderfully in an air fryer! Line the basket with parchment paper that has holes poked in it for air flow. Arrange the tots in a single layer with space between each. Spritz with oil spray and air fry at 350 for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.
