Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam or boil Broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
In a food processor, pulse the cooled Broccoli florets until finely chopped but not mushy.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped Broccoli, Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Egg, Olive oil, Garlic powder, Salt, and Black pepper. Mix well.
Form the mixture into small tots, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the tots are baking, prepare the Buffalo Ranch Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Ranch dressing, Hot sauce, and White vinegar.
Once the tots are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and toss with the Buffalo Ranch Sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately.
