Crispy Broccoli Bake

Broccoli Tots

Finally Broccoli you don’t have to feed to the dog!

Ingredients

2 Large Heads of Broccoli

1 tsp Garlic powder

3 Eggs

1 Cup of Italian breadcrumbs

1 Cup of Cheddar cheese, grated sharp

1 tbsp Milk

1/4 Cup of Parmesan cheese,

Directions:

Step 1:Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs and Milk

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheese and Bread Crumb Mixture

In a separate bowl, mix the Italian bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder together.

Step 4:Coat the Broccoli Florets

Dip each piece of broccoli in the egg mixture until well coated, and then dip them in the cheese and bread crumb mixture until completely covered. Ensure good coverage by sprinkling the mixture well and pressing the broccoli into the bread crumbs to make them stick.

Step 5: Arrange on the Baking Sheet and Bake

Place the coated broccoli florets on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the coating is golden brown. Adjust the baking time as needed, depending on the size of your broccoli pieces.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the broccoli bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Enjoy them immediately as a delicious snack or appetizer. Optionally, serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
