These cheesy cauliflower tots are a fun and healthy way to sneak veggies into your kids’ meals. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets, riced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Panko breadcrumbs for coating
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. If you don’t have pre-riced cauliflower, pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into small tot shapes, about 1-inch thick.
  5. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each tot in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
  6. Place the coated tots on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Lightly spray the tops of the tots with olive oil.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra hidden veggies, finely grate a carrot or zucchini and add it to the mixture.
  • Ensure the cauliflower is well-drained if you steam it, to avoid soggy tots.
  • Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
