Cauliflower Tots
A healthier way to eat Tater Tots!
Servings: 30 tots
Ingredients
- 3 cups grated cauliflower (about 1/2 head)
- 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment; set aside.
- Place the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, then stir and microwave again for another 2 minutes. If you don't use a microwave, a steamer works just as well. Let the cooked cauliflower cool. Then place the cauliflower in a fine cheesecloth or thin dishtowel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, add the cooked cauliflower, cheese, panko, eggs, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Using your hands, scoop up 1 tablespoon of the mixture and mold it into a tater tot shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake the tots for 15 minutes. Then turn them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- These tots freeze well. Bake them, and then place the cooked tots in a freezer zip baggie for up to one month. Reheat in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, or until crisp and heated through.
