Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli florets
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Steam the finely chopped broccoli for 3 minutes until slightly tender. Drain well and press out as much moisture as possible using a paper towel or clean cloth.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dried broccoli, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick mixture forms.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a small tot shape. Place the tots on a plate.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the tots in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Spray the tops of the tots lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Squeezing the moisture from the cooked broccoli is key for crispy tots.
- For extra crispiness, lightly dust the formed tots with a small amount of extra almond flour before spraying with oil.
- You can substitute breadcrumbs for almond flour if not following a low-carb diet.
