    Broccoli is a staple we always have in the freezer. Having frozen broccoli makes it convenient to use for any recipe, especially our homemade broccoli tater tots, cheddar broccoli tots, or our broccoli mushroom stir fry which is another must-try!

    This recipe has no dairy, no gluten, and no nuts. Making it an allergy-friendly option as well.

    Broccoli Tater Tot Ingredients:

    • Broccoli – Use steamed broccoli or frozen broccoli, but make sure you remove the excess water.
    • Potatoes – Go for a starchy potato like Russet or Yukon.
    • Onion – Grated onion flavors the mixture without adding bits of onion.
    • Eggs – Using eggs help bind the mixture.
    • Seasonings – Salt, pepper, and granulated garlic are what we add to our tots. You can add more seasonings to your taste and flavor preference.

    How to make broccoli tater tots

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable silicone mat and set aside.

    • Freeze: Freeze for up to 4 months, but don’t fully bake when cooking.

    How to serve:

    Kids tend to like ketchup with their tater tots and fries. You can also serve it with a cheese sauce or dip.
