Servings: 4 people
Calories: 181kcal
Ingredients
- 300 g Broccoli chopped
- 3 slices Whole wheat bread blended into bread crumbs
- 0.5 Onion finely diced
- 60 g Mature cheddar grated
- 2 Eggs whisked
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Add the broccoli to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain and then add to a large bowl and mash until very fine.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
- Take out 1 tablespoon at a time and roll in to a small sausage and repeat until you have 20.
- Place on a lined or oiled baking sheet and cook in the oven for 25 minutes until they start to crisp up. Serve with your favourite dip.
Notes
- Use a mixture of broccoli and cauliflower, or just cauliflower to change things up.
- You can stick to just mature cheddar, or you can use a mixture of cheddar, Parmesan and mozzarella.
- Roll these in to balls, bake and then stir in to pasta sauce for some vegetarian meatballs.
- Get creative with the flavours! If you like things spicy, then add some Mexican seasoning.
- You can also make these crispier by swapping the wholemeal breadcrumbs for Panko breadcrumbs.
