Air Fryer Broccoli Tots

Looking for a way to get more vegetables in a tasty, crispy bite? Look no further than these air fryer broccoli tots which are packed with broccoli and cheese!

I love vegetables but the rest of my family doesn’t quite share that same adoration. So, to get them to eat plenty of green vegetables, I have to make them super tasty. One of our favorite ways is to make them seem like something similar to things they love. In this case, tater tots. These broccoli tots are packed full of broccoli though in place of the traditional potatoes.

Spicy raspberry party meatballs are an amazing meatball appetizer recipe that is so easy because they cook in the slow cooker while you take care of all the other event prep.
