You’ll be surprised how much broccoli is crammed into these! They certainly don’t taste healthy – but they are. They are juicy and moist inside, golden on the outside, they stay pretty round after baking, and are gorgeous to serve as a vegetarian main or as bites!
Ingredients
2 cups roughly chopped soft cooked broccoli (well drained) 14 oz raw broccoli 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 2 large eggs 2oz each in-shell 3/4 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Colby or Tasty cheese are my usual) 2 green onion stems, finely sliced 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt Black pepper Olive oil spray * This can be made with fresh or frozen broccoli. If using fresh, you’ll need 1 giant head or 2 medium heads. Ensure the broccoli is cooked until soft so it is easier to “mash” and mold into meatball shapes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F Line a tray with baking / parchment paper Place all ingredients in a bowl Mix well to combine, mashing up the broccoli as you go Form balls – Scoop up a heaped tablespoon, then press in firmly. Flick out into your hand then form into a ball Place on tray Repeat with remaining mixture – should make 15 – 18 balls Spray with oil then bake for 25 minutes, or until the surface is slightly crisp and golden
