BBQ Broccoli Bites
Feeds 32 | Preparation time 58 minutes
What to do:
1. Preheat the oven to 170Fan/190ºC.
2. For the roasted broccoli: chop up the broccoli into small pieces and add to a roasting tray with the garlic, paprika, cumin, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Toss well and roast for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook the quinoa according to packet instructions, you will have 200g of cooked quinoa. Stir together the chia seeds and water to form a gel and leave to one side.
4. For the BBQ Crunch: add to a blender and process to a fine meal.>
5. Remove the broccoli from the oven and reduce the temperature to 160Fan/180ºC and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
6. For the bites: add the cooked quinoa, chickpea flour, chia seed gel, ground up BBQ Crunch, spring onions, nutritional yeast, spinach and roasted broccoli to a food processor and pulse/blend to a sticky mix, although stop before it gets totally smooth. Some small chunks are OK.
7. To shape: spoon the mixture into 12 bites, shape into balls and flatten onto the trays into rounds. Top with some extra BBQ Crunch and spray or brush with olive oil.
8. To bake: place in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, turn the trays around and bake for a further 8 minutes, until crisping at the edges. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing from the trays – use a palette knife if needed.
9. Make the yoghurt tahini: whisk together all the ingredients until smooth.
10. Serve the broccoli bites with the yoghurt tahini dip while warm or wait until they are cold. Keep leftovers in sealed containers in the fridge for 2-3 days and the bites can be frozen for 1 month, allow to defrost before eating.
