- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and boil for 5 minutes. Drain broccoli and pat with paper towel to remove excessive water. If you have a salad spinner, throw the broccoli in there and spin to remove water. Set aside.
- Add broccoli to a food processor and pulse until it's a smooth mixture, about 15-20 seconds. Pour broccoli mixture into a large bowl and add bread crumbs, cheese, eggs and salt. Mix until all combined.
- Pour mixture onto pan lined with parchment paper, trying to shape it into a rectangle about 8x11 in size, 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Flip over and bake for a additional 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool and then cut into 16 sticks before serving. These taste great dipped into tomato sauce!
