Cheesy broccoli bites - a playful twist on classic nuggets.
Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil for brushing, or as needed
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
  • 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and generously grease a baking sheet with oil.
  • Set up a steamer in a saucepan filled with water just below its bottom. Bring to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam for 2 to 6 minutes until tender. Allow broccoli to cool until it's safe to handle.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli with Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, eggs, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly, shape the mixture into nuggets or fun shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through and beginning to firm up.
