Cauliflower Tots
These cheesy nuggets of joy might be better than the real thing. We've included an oven-baked version as well as an air-fryer version below—both are great, but we're in love with how golden the air fryer version gets!
Ingredients :
- Cooking spray
- 4 cups cauliflower florets, steamed
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp. freshly chopped chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp. Sriracha
Directions :
- In a food processor, pulse steamed cauliflower until riced. Place riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to drain water.
- Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl with egg, cheddar, Parmesan, Panko, and chives and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon mixture and roll it into a tater-tot shape with your hands. Working in batches, arrange in basket of air fryer in a single layer and cook at 375° for 10, until 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.
