Description
These Protein Packed Broccoli Cheese Bites are perfect for a quick and healthy snack! They’re freezer friendly so you can have them on hand all the time!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, or 1 1/2 cups
- 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until completely combined and ingredients are broken down. Feel free to add more seasonings if you wish.
- Line a baking sheet with a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray and use a 1 tablespoon scoop to scoop the mixture onto the baking sheet.
- Use your hand to pat down the tops a little bit and either brush the tops with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Bake broccoli cheese bites until golden brown on the top and bottom, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before eating. They can be a little soft when warm because of the cheese but should firm up nicely once cooled a little bit.
- Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
Notes
Broccoli cheddar bites can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days and frozen in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
