Cheesy Broccoli Tots

300g broccoli, cut into small florets
1 cup wholegrain breadcrumbs
1 small brown onion, diced
¾ cup tasty cheese, grated
2 eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
salt and pepper, to taste

01 Preheat oven to 200°C.

02 Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Add broccoli and boil for 3 mins. Drain broccoli, then roughly chop into small pieces.

03 In a large bowl combine the broccoli with remaining ingredients (the mixture should clump together when pressed, but still be a little wet). Form 1 tbsp of mixture into small oval shapes and place on a lined baking tray. Repeat until all mixture is used.

04 Oven: Bake for 25 mins until golden. Airfryer: carefully place tots directly on the airfryer basket and cook for 15 mins at 190°C.
