Notes

  • For more flavorful tater tots you can add paprika powder, Chilli flakes, and garlic powder.
  • If you want to retain the deep green color of the broccoli, add them to ice-cold water after steaming. This helps in retaining the fresh green color.
  • If you do not have an air fryer you can make them in the oven too. Preheat and bake at 190 C for 20-25 mins until they are crisp and slightly golden.
  • You can also add grated cheese for gooey tater tots.
  • Make sure you add vegan and gluten-free breadcrumbs. For vegan broccoli tater tots. Or you may also skip adding them.
