Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • 2 Half Sheet Pans
  • Silpats or Parchment Paper
  • #50 Portioner (a 1 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop)

Ingredients

Super Tots

  • 1 Log Melissa's Produce Cooked Quinoa
  • 3 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 Cup + 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 1 Cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Cup Frozen Broccoli Stems processed
  • 1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly Cracked

Lemon Pepper Mayo

  • 1 Cup Grapeseed Vegenaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly Cracked
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

For The Super Tots

  • Preheat the oven to 475 F, and ready two half sheet pans, lining with either parchment paper or silpats.
  • In a medium bowl, add the chia seeds, and water. Mix, and let sit for 10 minutes while you mix the remaining ingredients.
  • Take one pack of frozen broccoli, and strain with a sieve under hot water until slightly defrosted. Drain as well as you can. Add to a food processor, and pulse a few times until the broccoli resembles rice. Return to the sieve, and using the back of a large spoon, press as much water out as you can. Alternately you can squeeze in a tea towel to expel all the moisture. After the water is out, perform your 1 cup measurement.
  • In a large bowl, break up the Melissa's Quinoa very well, so there are no large chunks remaining. Stir the chia seeds so there are no clumps, and add to the quinoa mixture, along with the breadcrumbs, broccoli, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, pepper. Mix very well.
  • The mixture should look crumbly, but when squeezed should stay together. Using a 1 Tablespoon measure, scoop into your hand, and shape into tot shapes, about 1.5 inches long, and .75 inches in diameter. Place on your lined sheet pans.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, rotating once after 10 minutes, and until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Serve immediately.

For The Lemon Pepper Mayo

  • Add all the ingredients for the Lemon Pepper Mayo in a small bowl, and whisk to combine thoroughly.
