Broccoli Cauliflower Tater Tots on plate with dipping sauce It's back-to-school time! This is my recipe for a tater tot that uses lots of broccoli and cauliflower instead of potato. They actually taste WAY better than the original potato version yet they are much healthier for the kiddos and us grown-ups. They freeze just like regular tater tots, as well. I hope you try these!

Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 25

Total Time: 35

Yield: 20 tots

Ingredients:

1 cup broccoli

2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
