  • Skills Medium
  • Prep time 10 mins
  • Cook time 20 mins
  • Servings 3-4

Ingredients

  • 2 Weet-Bix™ Little Kids Essentials
  • 1 head broccoli with stem (approx. 300 – 350g)
  • 2 eggs

To serve

  • tomato passata or pasta sauce

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Place broccoli into a food processor and pulse in short bursts until it resembles the texture of rice or breadcrumbs – you may need to do this in batches. Alternatively, grate broccoli florets and stems with a fine grater.
  3. Finely crush Weet-Bix and stir through the broccoli. Add eggs and mix well. Set aside 5 mins to firm up slightly.
  4. Scoop broccoli mixture with a 1 Tbsp measure, to make 18 – 20 portions. Form into ‘fingers’ or round patties, and place on the prepared tray. Bake 20 mins, until firm and just-golden on top.
  5. Serve with sauce for dipping.

Tips

  • Need a non-green version? Replace broccoli with an equal quantity of cauliflower.
