Low-Waste Broccoli Tater Tots

Low Waste Broccoli Tater Tots Vegan Recipe
  • Leave the veggies to cool for as long as possible before mixing with the remaining ingredients. This will help the moisture escape and keep the tater tots firm.
  • If they feel a little soft when they come out of the oven – don’t fret – leave the tots for a few minutes to firm up before serving.
  • You can easily add your own twists with different spices. Sometimes we turn them into curry-spiced tots using cumin, garam masala and ground coriander. Yum!
  • If you prefer more of a crunch, after grating and chopping the potato and broccoli, squeeze them in a clean tea towel before adding them to the mixing bowl. This will help to remove even more moisture.
Low Waste Broccoli Tater Tots Vegan Recipe

Low-Waste Broccoli Tater Tots

Serves: 16 tots
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • Low Waste Broccoli Tater Tots Vegan Recipe 350g potato
  • 1 broccoli head 
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • ketchup or vegan mayonnaise to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Fill a saucepan with boiling water and place over a medium heat. Roughly chop the potato (leave the skins on) into 2-inch chunks and cut the broccoli stem into 1-inch chunks. Add the potato and the broccoli stem to the boiling water and boil for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, break up the broccoli head into florets, then add them to the saucepan with the potato and broccoli stem and boil for a further 2 minutes.
  3. Drain the water from the pan and leave the potato and broccoli to steam cool for as long as possible.
  4. Preheat the oven to 220°C / 428°F fan and line a baking tray with baking paper
  5. Meanwhile peel the onion and finely dice it. Once cool, grate the potato and broccoli stem and finely chop the florets with a knife (optional: if you want the tots to be extra crunchy, squeeze the grated/chopped potato and broccoli between a clean tea towel to remove more moisture). Then transfer the grated potato, stem and broccoli florets to a mixing bowl along with the onion and remaining ingredients. Combine with your hands until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  6. Next take a couple of tablespoons of the mixture and shape it in your hands to form a cylinder and place it on the baking tray. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used up. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes or until the tater tots are golden brown.

After 20 minutes at 220, these were still basically the same texture as when they went in and not browned at all. After cranking up to 335 and giving them another 10 minutes, they look much better!

Hey Jamie. Are you cooking at 220 C or 220 F? Our recipe is in celsius! Hope that helps.

Would you do a translated version using F temp and what g is? Is it one cup of potatoes, 1 med potatoe?

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan September 13, 2018 - 10:53 pm

Hi Anne, 220 is 430F, and yea i’d say 1 medium potato is roughly 1 cup. Hope this helps. Best, Roxy

“6. Once cool, grate the potato and finely chop the broccoli, then transfer both to a mixing bowl…”

Can you just put it all in a food processor and pulse to save time dealing with the two separately? Just wondering before I try this. It actually sounds good for grownup snacks.

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan September 13, 2018 - 10:46 pm

HI M.J, in theory yes! Maybe roughly cut the potato into smaller chunks before you put it into the food processor. And make sure you don’t process the mixture too much so it doesn’t become a paste. Let us know how it goes. Best, Roxy

Jeanette September 10, 2018 - 5:26 am

These came out delicious and my family loved them! I like how you steamed the potato and broccoli first. It made grating so much easier. I did make a few changes. I added some grated carrot and flax meal soaked in water. It added a nice crispness to it. I seasoned with powdered onion, garlic, mustard seed, and smoked paprika. If I’d had time I would have put it in the freezer for a short time to make it easier to mold into a tater tot shape. It was a little too sticky.

Thanks for posting your recipe!

Your oven is going to be preheating for a very long time!

Reply

Hey you could preheat it later on but ours tends to take a while to get to 220. Hope this helps. Thanks, Roxy

Georgia December 6, 2020 - 5:22 pm

Hey!Can I use cheese instead of nutritional yeast?And if yes how match do you recommend?It’s not easy to find it where I live:/

Reply
Ben, So Vegan December 7, 2020 - 11:36 am

Hey Georgia! Ah, nutritional yeast is really tricky to substitute because it has a very unique taste! It’s nutty, slightly cheesy and very savoury – we sometimes use blended nuts and white miso paste, or a vegan parmesan cheese (but we appreciate the latter is quite tricky to find also!). You could also try a small amount of mustard powder – it’ll add extra heat, so you’ll only need a little, but it’ll add a similar(ish) depth of flavour. Hope that helps!

These are SO dang good! I’ve made them several times now and can’t get over how simple and delicious they are. As a note, I’ve substituted regular cheese that I needed to use up and it worked out great (no idea how much I used, sorry!) but I found it was more moist so the tots didn’t hold their shape as well. The OG recipe was byfar the best.
