Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender, about 5 minutes, then let cool and chop finely.

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing until cohesive.

Shape small portions of the mixture into golf ball-sized tots and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, looking for a golden-brown color and crisp exterior.

Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
