Ingredients for Veggie Bites

The Base:

• 2 russet potatoes, peeled, quartered, steamed, and cooled
• 1 bag Milton’s Crispy Sea Salt Gluten Free Crackers
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

The Fillers:

• ¼ cup steamed broccoli, finely chopped
• ¼ cup steamed cauliflower, finely chopped
• ¼ cup steamed purple potato, diced small
• Olive oil cooking spray (for molds)

How to Make Veggie Bites

1. Prep the Molds and Oven:

   • Spray silicone molds with olive oil.

   • Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Prepare the Base Mixture:

   • Place the whole bag of Milton’s Crispy Sea Salt Gluten Free Crackers in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.

   • Add the steamed and cooled potatoes and pulse briefly until blended.

   • Mix in the beaten egg, melted butter, salt, and Parmesan cheese until fully combined into a soft, slightly sticky dough.

3. Incorporate the Veggies:

   • Divide the mixture into three bowls.

   • Stir steamed broccoli into the first bowl, cauliflower into the second, and purple potato into the third.

4. Fill the Molds:

   • Spoon the different veggie mixtures into the prepared silicone molds.

   • Spray the tops lightly with olive oil.

   • Place molds on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the Veggie Bites are golden and firm.

5. Freeze for Shape Retention:

   • Allow the Veggie Bites to cool in the molds at room temperature.

   • Wrap the silicone trays with foil and freeze overnight. This ensures the bites retain their fun shapes when reheated.

6. Reheat and Serve:

   • When ready to serve, pop a few Veggie Bites out of the mold.

   • Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes.

   • Allow to cool slightly before serving.
