Tide You Over Tuesday: Broccoli Cheese Nuggets

broccoli cheese nuggets

If you are like me you have a picky eater in the house.  I have such a hard time getting my son to eat anything remotely healthy.   These Broccoli Cheese Nuggets are such a great idea.  Not only do they include a vegetable, but they are also gluten free!  These can also be made ahead and reheated as a great appetizer or after school snack.

Serve warm with a little bit of ranch dip for a yummy, healthy treat!

I used the frozen broccoli the size it was right out of the bag.  Next time I will chop it up more.

Spoon it with an ice cream scoop onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 F for 20-25 mins.
