BROCCOLI TOTS

Ingredients

• 2 cups of ground broccoli.
• 2 tbs of parsley.
• 1/4 yellow onion.
• 1 egg.
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
• 1/3 cup Panko crumbs.
• 1/2 tsp of Chipotle BBQ Pacific Sea Salt.
• Pepper to taste.

Preparation

Precook the broccoli a little and place on a paper towel to drain some of the moisture. Mix all the ingredients together. Shape and place in a greased mini cupcake tin. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Once cooked, if the tots are falling apart when you take them out of the pan, put them back into the oven to cook for a few minutes longer so they are a bit crisper or let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
