These broccoli rolls are healthy AND delicious!

It's never a good idea to avoid vegetables: Whether you're a kid or an adult, everybody should be eating them. But for many people, green vegetables are just not at the top of the list. This recipe is a great way to spruce up your appetizers and create something more nutritious, using only a few ingredients. Broccoli (and every other kind of vegetable) will soon be your new favorite food - and party snack!

You'll need the following:

  • 12 oz broccoli
  • 2 oz  scallions
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 6 oz cheddar cheese
  • 1 and 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper
  • chili sauce (optional)

Here's what you do:

Cut the broccoli into small pieces and then place it into boiling water for 2 minutes.  

Dry it off and chop it into even smaller pieces. Put the broccoli, along with the other ingredients, into a bowl: grated cheese, scallions, egg, garlic clove, pepper, salt and chili sauce if you prefer a little spice!

Then knead the mixture until it turns into an evenly textured mass. Then it goes off into the fridge for about 2 hours.

Now make small, firm balls out of the mixture...

... and place them on a baking sheet.

 Bake in the oven at 400°F for 17-20 minutes. Delicious!
