BAKED BROCCOLI CHEESE BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F (all oven types).
• Line tray with baking / parchment paper. (Note 2)
• Place all ingredients (except oil spray) in a bowl. Mix well to combine, mashing up the broccoli as you go (like when you are cooking mince).
• Scoop up a heaped tablespoon, then press in firmly. Flick out into your hand then form into a ball. Place on tray. Repeat with remaining mixture - should make 15 - 18 balls.
• Spray with oil then bake for 25 minutes, or until the surface is slightly crisp and golden.
• Serve with Lemon Yoghurt Sauce - it also goes great with ketchup!
• Sauce: Mix ingredients together then set aside for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

• Grease a baking tray with vegetable oil, then shape small balls out of the broccoli mixture, I ended up with 13 balls, but depending on the size, you might get more or less.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly golden brown, turning them on the other side half the way through baking.
• Serve warm or cold.
