Super crispy, easy, and delicious Gluten-Free Baked Garlic Parmesan Broccoli Bites! These little bites are like little tater tots bursting with healthy flavors and ingredients! They make a great appetizer, snack or meal!

Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli, fresh or frozen
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/3 cup parmesan, shredded
• 3/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.Blanch your uncooked broccoli by throwing into a pot of boiling water for 2 minutes only, then plunging into a bowl of ice cold water. Drain & then finely chop.In a large mixing bowl, combine your finely chopped broccoli with all of the remaining ingredients, stirring until all is well combined.Take an ice cream scooped dollop and shape it in your hands, squeezing with the palm of one hand, while simultaneously rotating and flattening the ends with the thumb & index finger of your other hand…forming a cylinder shaped bite. Repeat with remaining batter.Place your bites on your parchment lined cookie sheet & bake for 22 minutes, or until desired golden crispiness, flipping halfway through cooking time.Great on its own or served with a favorite condiment (I like Annie’s Naturals Cowgirl Ranch).Enjoy!
