  1. Ooh, these actually sound good. We had deep-fried broccoli and cauliflower before. I’m hoping these are similar.

    1. These veggie tots are amazing. It was an accident that I found them in the case..no coupon to promote it. Great for kids too. Thank you.

    2. We just had the broc n cheese tots. Deffinatly are good. Better comparison than “Tata tot” without the Tata would be a fried broc and cheddar popper! Yes – they are worth trying. My husband and teenage son agree!?

  2. Green Giant is a reputable brand – but the cauliflower veggie tots are TERRIBLE!! Followed baking instructions, found them to be mushy when eaten; took them apart – where’s the cauliflower?? Must be minced. Waste of money here.

    1. Agree 100%! I also boutique a bag of broccoli cheese tots…haven’t tried them yet. Hopefully they’re better than that cauliflower…but I’m not gonna hold my breath 😉

    4. Go longer and hotter on the cooking time and temperature than what it says on the back.

      I followed the instructions, and found them to be underdone, too. At the end, I cranked the oven to 475 and went another 10 minutes. After that I turned on the broiler to brown the tops even more.

      Came out plenty crispy.

  3. I like the broccoli cheese tots….after baking them for recommended time…I let them crisp up more by leaving them in oven…after I turned oven off….I will by them again

  4. Same here. I thought the cauliflower ones were very unpleasantly wet inside no matter what I did, and they have a heavy black pepper taste. I love pepper and Cauliflower so this is saying something.

  5. I didn’t try the cauliflower tots (and based on these reviews, I won’t), but I tried the broccoli tots and they were pretty yummy. There were little chunks of broccoli and it wasn’t too mushy. If you want it a little crispier, keep them in the oven at least a few minutes longer than the directions suggest. I had mine in for 15 minutes and they still weren’t as crispy as I would have liked. I happened to pick up an avocado ranch dressing that went really well with it as a dip. I’d definitely buy them again.

  6. Found the broccoli and cheese tots by accident at Wal-Mart. Tried to find them for the past two weeks but unsuccessful!! They
    were delicious! Does anyone know where I can find them??

  7. I tried the broccoli and cheese tots I loved them. Put a little catsup on them. They are a little mussy. I think the next time I try mashing them alittle.

    1. It doesn’t say on the package whether they’re fried or baked, but I’m assuming fried, because they do have a degree of greasiness to them, when done. This info should be on the package. It would be much healthier if they were baked!

  8. I had the broccoli and cheese I love them !!!! I cooked mine until brown
