Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place 1/2 of the broccoli florets in a food processor; pulse about 20 times until it looks like grains of rice. Repeat with remaining broccoli florets.
Step 3
Fill a large, shallow saucepan with 1/2 inch water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add broccoli rice. Cover and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer broccoli rice to the center of a clean absorbent dish towel. Squeeze and twist the towel to remove as much of the moisture as possible.
Step 5
Mix Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, onion, egg, bacon, ranch dressing mix, and parsley together in a large bowl. Mix in broccoli rice until mixture sticks together when pressed into a ball.
Step 6
Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture with a small ice cream scoop; form into a ball and press into the shape of a tot using oiled hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Step 7
Drizzle olive oil over broccoli tots. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt on top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway with tongs, until golden brown, about 24 minutes.
