Ingredients
1 medium head broccoli, cut into florets
2 spring onions, finely chopped

1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley
salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg lightly beaten

1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley

Method
- Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute then refresh in iced water. Drain well. Place all the ingredients except for the egg in a food processor and ‘pulse’ until finely chopped and combined. Add the egg and pulse to combine.
- Shape approximately 2-3 teaspoons of the mixture, into nugget or gem shapes and place on a baking paper lined tray.
- Spray the gems with oil and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes, or airfry for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with sour cream or thick yoghurt.
Handy Tips
Gems can be reheated in the air-fryer for a few minutes.
