Baked Broccoli-Cheddar Tots

Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tsp salt. Add broccoli and cook for 1 minute. Drain, then transfer broccoli to a large bowl of ice water and submerge to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Pulse broccoli in a food processor until finely chopped, then transfer to a large bowl. Add egg, cheddar, panko, green onions, black pepper and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Stir to combine.

Scoop out 1 heaping tbsp of broccoli mixture and shape into a rectangular tot shape. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture and arrange tots 1 in apart on sheet.
