Broccoli Tater Tots

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a baking sheet with non-stick parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the potato into a microwavable dish, cover it with a plate and microwave at high for 3 minutes or until they are easy to pierce with a knife but still too hard to eat.  Remove from the microwave and let cool. You can also boil or steam the potatoes.

Step 3

In the meantime chop the broccoli into 2-inch pieces and microwave in the same way as potatoes for 1-2 minutes. Or, if using frozen and thawed broccoli, skip this step.

Step 4

Pulse the broccoli in a food processor, until it has the texture of couscous. Make sure to not over-process the broccoli or it will be too wet. Scrape the sides of the food processor if necessary. Measure 1.5 cups of broccoli and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 5

Add the potatoes to the food processor and pulse until it all comes together. Add the potato mixture to the bowl with broccoli, add the breadcrumbs, garlic powder and mix together.

Step 6

Scoop a large spoonful of the mixture, shape tater tots with your hands. Arrange the tots on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2cm apart.

Step 7

Bake for 8–9 minutes. Flip and then bake for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side until golden.
