    Cauliflower Tots

    Oct 9, 2015 · 2 Comments

    My 215th recipe, "Cauliflower Tots", an interesting and healthy appetizer / snack. Regular readers of my blog would probably be familiar with what I am going to tell next. Cauliflower is one my most favorite veggie and I am always on the lookout for new and delicious way to enjoy cauliflower.

    Anything would do with me. Whether it is in the form of an Indian dish like Gobi 65 or Gobi Manchurian or whether it is in the form of a breadstick, cauliflower will always be on my favorites list.

    Ever since I saw someone making Tater Tots on Food Network, I have been always wanting to make one at home. However I wanted to make one with cauliflower instead of potatoes just to make it more healthier and cut down on the starch. Evenings are one of my favorite times to enjoy a cup of hot tea and something to munch along with it. So it only gave me one more additional reason to bake these today.

    These cauliflower tots are extremely easy to make and very addictive. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside with all the wonderful flavors you would ever crave for. These cauliflower tots could very well get more points for being on the healthier side and one of the most easiest ways to make your kids eat some veggies 🙂

    Notes | FAQ

    - While cooking the cauliflower florets in the first step, do not let it overcook and turn mushy.
    - Do not over mix the ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    - Flax seed meal is a substitute for eggs. If not vegetarian, you can use 1 large egg + 1 large egg white instead of Flax seed meal + water.
    - Baking time would depend on your oven. So keep an eye on color of the tots for baking time.
    - If you would like a subtle onion and garlic flavor, you can saute them first in a pan with little oil for 30 secs before adding to the mixture.
    - You can also use garlic powder or salt instead of fresh garlic.
