Print Recipe

These Crispy Cheddar Cauliflower Tots are the perfect snack for any occasion, offering a delightful crunch and rich cheese flavor. Quick and easy to make, they are a healthier alternative to traditional potato tots.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2 to 3 cups of cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
  2. Wash the cauliflower and cut it into small pieces. Steam it in a pot for about 5-7 minutes until soft, being careful not to overcook it.
  3. Let the cauliflower cool slightly and then puree it in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like consistency. This should take only 1-2 minutes.
  4. Place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for making the tots crispy.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower rice with the sharp cheddar, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Form small tots from the mixture, about the size of a walnut. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to bake evenly.
  7. Bake the tots for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the baking time for even browning.
  8. Remove the tots from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance the crispy texture.
