Share recipe
Description
Yummy alternative to chicken nuggets for the kids. I'm not a broccoli fan in general, but this is really tasty.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with oil.
- 2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil; add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Let broccoli cool at room temperature until cool enough to touch.
- 3. Transfer broccoli into a large mixing bowl. Add bread crumbs, Cheddar cheese, eggs, basil, oregano, and garlic powder to the broccoli; mix. Shape into nuggets or fun shapes and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet.
- 4. Bake in preheated for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until heated through and beginning to firm, 10 to 15 minutes more.
