These cheesy broccoli tater tot bites are the kind of cozy snack everyone grabs first. Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside, they’re perfect for easy dinners, party trays, or after-school snacking.
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen tater tots, thawed
- 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
- Roughly mash the thawed tater tots in a large bowl until crumbly.
- Stir in chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin pan, pressing gently to pack each cup.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden and crispy around the edges.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove and serve warm.
Tip
Chop the broccoli very small so it blends smoothly and helps the bites hold together.
These are great with ketchup, ranch, or a simple sour cream dip, and they reheat well for quick snacks later.
