These broccoli bites can be used as finger food for baby-led weaning. I use panko bread crumbs for extra crunch, but for a softer broccoli tot you can use regular bread crumbs. If you are serving these to young members of the family be sure to leave out the additional salt.
Store your leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to four months.
Reheat your broccoli bites in a hot oven or air fryer for just a few minutes.
Serve with a dipping sauce: Aioli, ranch dressing, tomato relish, sour cream or my lemon feta dip are all lovely.
Broccoli finely diced/minced/riced: I use a food processor to blitz my broccoli. But you can also use store-bought frozen broccoli rice. Cauliflower also works well in this recipe.
Onion: Red or brown onion is fine
Bread crumbs: I use panko breadcrumbs, regular bread crumbs work fine too. Can be substituted for gluten-free bread crumbs (the photos in this recipe are actually of the broccoli bites made with gluten-free bread crumbs).
Cheese: I like to use a hard flavourful cheddar cheese (tasty). Parmesan cheese can add extra flavor.
Eggs: I use 2 large eggs, if your eggs are small you may require three.
Salt and black pepper: If you are serving these to young members of the family, skip the extra salt.

Loved this recipe, so versatile. I added tuna to mine and used homemade breadcrumbs from wholemeal toast and airfried them for 10mins on 180. Was fantastic with a squeeze of lemon! Thank you!
