Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper or nonstick foil and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
- Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, to thaw. Drain REALLY well.
- Meanwhile, in another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and cayenne.
- Add the cheddar and the almond flour, then add the thawed and drained broccoli. Use a large spoon to mix everything together. Mix thoroughly, making sure all broccoli pieces are coated.
- Use a heaping 1.5-tablespoon scoop to transfer mounds of the mixture into the baking sheet. You should get about 24 tots. Make sure they don't touch each other. Lightly spray the tots with olive oil.
- Bake the tots for 15 minutes on the first side and for 10 more minutes on the second side, until browned. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, onion, egg, parsley, garlic, cumin, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Mix in broccoli rice until mixture sticks together when pressed into a ball.
- 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.
- Drizzle olive oil over broccoli tots. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway with tongs, until golden brown, about 24 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets will give your tater tots the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Shred the cheese finely: Finely shredded cheese will melt more evenly and smoothly into the tater tots. You can use a box grater or a food processor to shred the cheese.
- Season the tater tots well: Don't be afraid to season the tater tots generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the tater tots until they're golden brown: The tater tots should be cooked until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will take about 20 minutes in a preheated oven.
- Serve the tater tots immediately: Broccoli and cheese tater tots are best served immediately after they're cooked. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Broccoli and cheese tater tots are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With their cheesy, broccoli-filled centers and crispy exteriors, these tater tots are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
