Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray oil. Set aside.
- Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then chop it into small florets.
- Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool slightly.
- Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower to a clean dish towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much water as possible. This is a crucial step to ensure your tots hold together.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, chopped onion, fresh parsley, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and egg white together.
- Add the beaten eggs to the cauliflower mixture, then mix in the bread crumbs. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Using your hands, shape the cauliflower mixture into small tot shapes, about 1 to 1.5 inches in length.
- Place each formed tot on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave a little space between each tot to ensure even cooking.
- Lightly spray the tops of the tots with additional cooking spray oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the tots halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your cauliflower tots warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly drain any excess moisture from the cauliflower to ensure the tots stay crispy.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add your favorite spices to customize the recipe to your taste.
- Using parchment paper on your baking sheet can help prevent the tots from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
Cauliflower tots with cheddar cheese and parsley offer a savory, cheesy, and healthy twist on a beloved classic. By following these steps and tips, you'll be able to create a tasty, versatile dish that everyone will enjoy. Serve them fresh out of the oven with your favorite dipping sauce, and watch them disappear!
