Baked Broccoli Nuggets

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large head broccoli
• 1/2 cup almond meal (or breadcrumbs)
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (or Mozerella) 
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup onion - optional

PROCEDURE​
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut broccoli into small florets and steam or cook.  Then finely chop them (should be about 2 cups post chop).  Using a paper towel, gently absorb any excess water by patting em down – do not mash.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and combine.  Form your nuggets and place them on the baking sheet.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Flick on the broiler at the end for a few minutes to give the tops a nice golden color.
