Crispy Broccoli Tots

Finally, broccoli you don't have to feed to the dog!

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Heads of Broccoli
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 Cup of Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 Cup of Cheddar cheese, grated sharp
  • 1 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 Cup of Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet

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

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs and Milk

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheese and Bread Crumb Mixture

In a separate bowl, mix the Italian bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder together.

Step 4: Coat the Broccoli Florets

Dip each piece of broccoli in the egg mixture until well coated, then dip in the cheese and bread crumb mixture until completely covered. Press the broccoli into the bread crumbs to make them stick.

Step 5: Arrange on the Baking Sheet and Bake

Place the coated broccoli florets on the lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake for 18–25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the coating is golden brown.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Enjoy immediately as a snack or appetizer. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.

Yes — with every BariBowl purchase, one mindful eating utensil set ships free. No code needed. We started this because we believe nobody should be paying extra for the tools that make eating after surgery doable.

Yes — the borosilicate glass bowls and silicone lids are both top-rack dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the mindful eating utensils to keep them in best shape.

Yes — but remove the lid first. The glass is rated for microwave, oven (up to 350°F), and freezer use. The silicone lids should NOT go in the microwave or oven.

We offer a one-year glass replacement guarantee. If your BariBowl breaks within the first 12 months of normal use, email us with a photo and we'll send a replacement free. No questions, no returns required.

Yes — every component that touches your food is BPA-free. The bowl is borosilicate glass, the lids are food-grade silicone, and the locking clips are PP plastic that's BPA- and phthalate-free.

12+ hours cold, 6 hours hot. The double-wall vacuum insulation means no condensation on the outside, so you can throw it in your bag without worrying about your laptop.

The bowls themselves are useful from day one as a visual cue for portions, but the 2-cup capacity is sized for Phase 4 (regular foods), which most patients reach around 6–8 weeks post-op. Phase 3 (soft foods)? Our BariBowl Mini, sized at 1 cup, is coming soon. Always check with your dietitian first.

The 50% protein / 30% veg / 20% carb plate method is the most widely recommended bariatric ratio across both sleeve and RNY patients. Your specific program may have slightly different targets — bring our BariBowl to your next dietitian appointment and ask.

The BariBottle's low-flow spout is engineered to prevent gulping, which is the #1 cause of dumping syndrome from drinking too fast. Many patients tell us it changed their hydration routine entirely. That said, dumping has multiple triggers — if you're struggling, talk to your bariatric team.

Yes! Our recipe library is organized by phase (Liquids, Pureed, Soft Foods, Regular). All our recipes are macro-tagged with protein grams and prep time. Free for BariBowl customers, $9 for non-customers.

30 days, no questions asked. If BariBowl doesn't work for you, send it back for a full refund — even if you've used it. We pay return shipping. We started this policy because we know post-op life is unpredictable and you shouldn't be stuck with something that doesn't fit your stage.

Once we receive the return at our Phoenix warehouse, we issue the refund within 24 hours. Your bank may take 3–5 business days to post the credit back to your card. Shop Pay refunds are usually instant.

Yes — if you want a different bundle size, color, or product, email us before shipping back and we'll swap it directly. No restocking fees, no nonsense.
