Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut broccoli into small florets and chop stems. Steam stems for 1 minute, then add florets and steam for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly.

Chop steamed broccoli and transfer to mixing bowl. Add shredded cheese, eggs, almond meal, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.

Scoop the mixture using a heaped tablespoon and shape into small tots. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Optionally, spray tops of tots with cooking oil. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with dipping sauces.
