Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and cook for 1 minute or until broccoli is very tender. Strain and rinse with cold water

2. Chop cooked broccoli into fine pieces and add them to a medium sized bowl

3. Add egg, egg white, green onion, cheese, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine

4. Form mixture into about 28 “tot shapes”

5. To make in oven: spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and bake tots at 375 degrees for about 16 minutes, tots should be browning

6. To make in air fryer: preheat fryer to 390 degrees for 3 minutes. Spray basket with cooking spray, add tots to basket (you will likely have to do this step in batches, I did mine in 2), spray tops with more cooking spray and air fry for 4 minutes. Tots should be crispy and browned
