Broccoli Hummus Snack Bites

Servings 32
Author Jennifer Hunt, RDN, LD

Ingredients

  • 16 oz broccoli frozen/fresh
  • 15 oz can chickpeas garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup oats
  • ¼ medium onion rough chopped
  • 1 cup 2% milk cheddar cheese optional

Instructions

  1. Steam broccoli on the stove top or in the microwave until tender. Meanwhile, in a food processor, add in all ingredients except cheese and broccoli. Process until a chunky hummus texture comes together. Pour into medium bowl. 

  2. Add steamed broccoli to the food processor and pulse 3-4 times, until small bits. Stir broccoli into chickpea mixture. Add cheese, if desired.

  3. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil and spray with oil (I use a Misto). Using a heaping tablespoon (or a #40 scoop), line sheet with scoops of the broccoli mixture and then press down into a small patty so it cooks evenly. Spray tops with oil spray.

  4. Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Serve warm or room temperature. Store extra broccoli hummus bites in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Recipe Notes

Make sure to use non-stick foil (NOT regular foil) to ensure the broccoli bites don't stick- learn from my mistake!
