Broccoli Bacon Ranch Tots

The great flavors of bacon, Cheddar, and ranch in a low-carb, low-calorie tot! Enjoy hot with ketchup, Sriracha, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce!

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step: 2

Place 1/2 of the broccoli florets in a food processor; pulse about 20 times until it looks like grains of rice. Repeat with remaining broccoli florets.

Step: 3

Fill a large, shallow saucepan with 1/2 inch water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add broccoli rice. Cover and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes.

Step: 4

Transfer broccoli rice to the center of a clean absorbent dish towel. Squeeze and twist the towel to remove as much of the moisture as possible.

Step: 5

Mix Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, onion, egg, bacon, ranch dressing mix, and parsley together in a large bowl. Mix in broccoli rice until mixture sticks together when pressed into a ball.

Step: 6

Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture with a small ice cream scoop; form into a ball and press into the shape of a tot using oiled hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Step: 7

Drizzle olive oil over broccoli tots. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt on top.

Step: 8

Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway with tongs, until golden brown, about 24 minutes.
