Cheesy Baked Cauliflower Tots
Ingredients
- 1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 c. ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more to taste)
Equipment Used
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spray a baking sheet with olive oil, or vegetable oil, and set aside.
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large sauce pot. Add the cauliflower florets, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, just until they are fork tender.
- In a food processor, pulse steamed cauliflower until it is like coarse bread crumbs. Don't go to small or the tots will be mushy.
- Place cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to drain water.
- Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl with egg, cheddar, parmesan, panko, chives, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon approx 1 tablespoon of the mixture into your hand and roll it into a tater-tot shape. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tots are golden.
- Meanwhile, make spicy ketchup. Combine ketchup and Sriracha in a small serving bowl and stir to combine.
- Serve warm cauliflower tots with spicy ketchup.
Cook time: 00 hrs. 20 mins.
