- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Add broccoli florets to a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. Alternatively, boil in a small pot of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and finely chop.
- Combine the chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, and optional salt in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape them into tots. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking pan.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until edges slightly brown. Shake the pan halfway through for even browning.
Notes
Kitchen scissors can be used to chop the florets, or use a food processor for smaller pieces. Leaving some chunks provides added texture. Mozzarella cheese can be used as a low-sodium alternative for babies.
