White Cheddar Cauliflower Tots

White Cheddar Cauliflower Tots



Prep Time: 20 Min

Cook Time: 50 - 55 Min

​ 

1. Bring a large, salted pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Once boiled, add the florets and cook until tender. (7 – 10 Minutes)

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 F

 

1. Strain the cauliflower and set aside 10 minutes until cooled down. Add the cooled down cauli to a food processor and pulse a few times until the cauliflower is broken down almost to a riced consistency. Empty the cauliflower into a medium sized mixing bowl.

 

1. To the mixing bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Once combined, scoop 1 ½ - 2 Tbsp. of the mixture in your hands and form into tater tot shapes. Then, gently toss the cauliflower tot between both hands to firm it up and secure the shape. Place the formed tots on a baking sheet coated in cooking spray. Continue until all tots are formed. (Roughly 16 – 23 depending on size of cauliflower head)

 

1. Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes. Use a thin spatula to release the tots from the baking sheet and gently flip them over. Be careful because the tots are sensitive. Return the tots to the oven for another 20 – 25 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

 

1. Season with sea salt right out of the oven. Serve with ketchup, ranch, aioli, or just as is. ENJOY!
