Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Place the finely chopped cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into small tot shapes. You should be able to make about 15-20 tots.
  5. Place the shaped tots onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Lightly spray the tops of the tots with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy cauliflower tots!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can bake them for a few extra minutes.
  • Feel free to add other seasonings like onion powder or paprika to the mixture.
  • These tots can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
