Enjoy these Cheesy Cauliflower Tots, a fun and healthier twist on a classic favorite. Made with grated cauliflower and plenty of cheese, these tots are baked until golden and crispy, offering a delicious way to sneak in veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups riced cauliflower
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). If baking, lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. If air frying, you may want to lightly spray the basket.
  2. Ensure your riced cauliflower is as dry as possible. You can achieve this by pressing it between paper towels or using a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture. This step is key for crispy tots!
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the dried riced cauliflower, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  4. Shape the mixture into small, tot-like shapes. Aim for a size similar to traditional tater tots.
  5. Place the shaped tots onto the prepared baking sheet or into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. If air frying, cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  7. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Cheesy Cauliflower Tots!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the tots with cooking spray before baking or air frying.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack or a Colby-Jack blend.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
