Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Add the florets to a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice-sized pieces.
Transfer the riced cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy tots.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chives. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the cauliflower mixture and form them into small tot shapes by rolling and pressing them between your hands.
Place the shaped tots onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip each tot over and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tots are golden and crispy.
Remove the cauliflower tots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm alongside your favorite dipping sauce!
