Report
Healthy Baked Veggie Tots, a fantastic snack or appetizer that even veggie haters will love. Nutritious, delicious, great any time of the day. Particularly nice as a finger food for babies and toddlers.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts
- 1 cup spinach, frozen
- 1 cup grated mozzarella
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste (If made for babies, salt to be omitted)
Instructions
- Boil the Brussels sprouts in a pan of salted water for 15 minutes until really tender.
- Drain the water, and chop the sprouts really finely.
- In a separate pan, boil the spinach for about 5 minutes, transfer to a colander, and use the back on a spoon to squeeze out the excess water.
- Chop the spinach finely, and mix with the Brussels sprouts, mozzarella, egg, breadcrumbs and spring onions.
- Season to taste and shape 15 tots.
- Arrange them on a bake tray lined with non stick parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Spray the bites with cooking spray, then bake the bites in the oven for 30 minutes until lightly golden.
Notes
- Mozzarella works better in this recipe, as it keeps the bites soft and moist while being baked. When cheese is not added, I tend to fry patties/bites, because I find that they dry out no matter what.
- Another thing that helps is spraying they with cooking spray before popping them in the oven, they came out perfectly moist.
- There was no need to coat these veggie tots at all with flour to become slightly golden, although I would have used some had I decided to fry them instead.
