Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees
-
Break up head of broccoli into large pieces.
-
Bring large pot of water to boil and add broccoli, blanching for 4 to 5 minutes (do not overcook).
-
Drain water from pot and immediately add cold water to stop to cooking process.
-
Drain water well and pat florets dry with towel.
-
Add par-cooked broccoli to food processor and use the pulse function to chop into small pieces.
-
Scoop out 3 cups of chopped broccoli and add to bowl. Stir in parmesan cheese and almond meal.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg, onion powder, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir this into broccoli mixture until evenly combined.

Take 1 heaping tablespoon of mixture and roll between hands to make an approximate 1” long oval log – they do not have to be perfect shaped. Lay baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone sheet. Continue making tots with remaining mixture.

Bake in center rack of 400 F degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until looking set and turning very lightly brown on top (bottoms will be a little more browned).
