Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium broccoli heads roughly 600g / 21 oz stems and florets separated
  • 2 large eggs beaten room temperature
  • ¾ cup 65g almond flour can substitute with panko breadcrumbs for crunch
  • ¾ packed cup 80g sharp cheddar cheese (grated melts easily)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced finely for flavor
  • ½ teaspoon salt optional omit if serving to young children

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment.
  2. Trim the broccoli into florets and slice stems into 1-2 cm pieces after removing tough outer layer.
  3. Steam the stems for 1 minute, then add the florets and steam for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly.
  4. Chop the steamed broccoli roughly and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Combine the cheese, eggs, almond flour, and garlic into the bowl with the broccoli. Mash any large pieces as you mix until uniform.
  6. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small tot-sized pieces. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Optionally, lightly spray the tops with cooking oil, then bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
