Air fryer broccoli tots are a delightful twist on the classic potato version, providing a healthier alternative packed with nutrients. To make these crunchy bites, start by steaming fresh broccoli until tender, then finely chopping it. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli with breadcrumbs, grated cheese, a beaten egg, and a sprinkle of garlic powder for added flavour.
Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into small, bite-sized tots. Preheat your air fryer to around 190°C (375°F) and, for the best results, lightly coat the tots with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook them in the fryer for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they're golden and crispy.
These broccoli tots make a wonderful snack or side dish, and they’re perfect for getting children to enjoy their greens. Serve them with a tangy dipping sauce, and you have a delectable treat that's both satisfying and nutritious!
