Sauté the Broccoli: In a pan, melt a tablespoon of Nutralite Garlic & Oregano Spread over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli and sauté for about one minute. The goal is to soften the broccoli slightly without cooking it completely. Once done, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the broccoli has cooled, add the mozzarella cheese, Nutralite Cheesy Garlic Mayo, corn flour, and salt to the pan. Mix everything well until combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and seasoning as needed to ensure the perfect flavor balance.
-
Shape the Nuggets: Take small amounts of the mixture and shape them into oval or kebab-sized portions, forming bite-sized nuggets.
-
Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll each nugget in the whole wheat bread crumbs to give them a delightful crust, ensuring they are well coated.
-
Pan Fry the Nuggets: Heat a skillet and melt a little more Nutralite Garlic & Oregano Spread over medium heat. Place the coated Cheesy Garlic Broccoli Nuggets in the skillet, cooking them for approximately 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the skillet and drain them on paper towels if necessary. Serve your Cheesy Garlic Broccoli Nuggets warm, accompanied by a Cocoa Banana Almond Date Smoothie for a refreshing drink or Nutralite Achari Mayo as a delicious dip on the side.
