These versatile munchies are great for a Superbowl party or for a dinner party. These broccoli bites have just the right balance of broccoli to "other things" that makes you totally forget that you're eating broccoli at all. All my kids like them...Even my husband likes them.
As always, try to use the freshest ingredients as possible, locally grow...organic is even better. These versatile munchies are great for a Superbowl party or for a dinner party.

Directions

I steamed the broccoli and then chopped it up kind of small. (I didn't have any breadcrumbs handy..so I put about 10 slices of bread (thin bread) in the oven for 15 minutes on 300 degrees...flipped them after 15 minutes, and cooked for an additional 15 minutes. When they are nice and crispy, I put them in the food processor until the were breadcrumb size)
Then dump all the ingredients in a bowl and mix up really well. Make little patties about 2 1/2 inches in diameter...Spray a cookie sheet with olive oil and place all the patties on pan. Bake on 375 for 18-20 minutes. Enjoy.
