1. Step1

   Line a large rimmed baking pan with paper towels; set aside. Place broccoli and cauliflower florets and water into a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH 3 to 4 minutes or until fork tender. Drain; transfer to prepared baking pan and pat dry; cool 5 minutes.

2. Step2

   Meanwhile, stir together eggs, bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper in another medium bowl; set aside.

   Place steamed broccoli and cauliflower and onions in a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until mixture is finely chopped. Transfer to bread crumb mixture; stir until well combined.

4. Step4

   Remove paper towels from baking pan; line with parchment paper. Form vegetable mixture into 1-1/2-inch-long cylinder shapes using about 1/2 teaspoon for each. Place on prepared baking pan. Freeze 2 hours or until firm. 

5. Step5

   Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees according to manufacturer's directions. Lightly spray air fryer basking with nonstick spray. Working in batches, place tots in single layer in basket.
