These Broccoli & Cauliflower Bites are kid-friendly and simple to make with just a few ingredients. Perfect for snack time and lunch boxes!

If your kids are still learning to like veggies like broccoli and cauliflower, these little nuggets can help. They’re just the right size for snacks and lunch boxes and can be eaten warm or cold (and dunked into ketchup if that sweetens the deal).

Here’s how to make them:

Steam the veggies in the microwave or on the stove until they’re soft. Then place them in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

Just like this!

Transfer the finely chopped veggies to a bowl and add breadcrumbs, cheese, egg, and garlic salt.

Mix well!

Portion into a mini muffin pan that’s been sprayed with cookie spray. I use my handy cookie scoop for this job (and so many others). Press the tops down gently with the back of a spoon.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy!
