Cauliflower Tots
Adapted from www.Delish.com
These cheesy nuggets are a tasty, golden and a bit decadent. But if you are trying to persuade the cauliflower-hesitant, this may be a good place to start!
Ingredients
- Oil
- 4 cups cauliflower florets, steamed and cooled (about 1/2 large cauliflower)
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 2/3 cup panko or regular breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp. chives freshly chopped
- A dash of salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp. Sriracha or other hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease a large baking sheet, or cover with parchment paper.
- Finely chop the steamed and cooled cauliflower into a rice-like consistency. Place riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to drain excess moisture.
- Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl with egg, cheddar, Parmesan, panko, and chives. Mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon mixture and roll it into a tater-tot shape with your hands. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until tots are golden.
- Meanwhile, make spicy ketchup for dipping. Place ketchup and Sriracha in a small serving bowl and stir to combine.
- Serve warm cauliflower tots with spicy ketchup.
