Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. Steam them in a pot of boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, until tender.
Drain the cauliflower well and pat it dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice-like grains. You should have about 2 cups of riced cauliflower.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a large mixing bowl and add almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, one beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when shaped.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the cauliflower mixture and shape it into a tot using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place the formed tots on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat them with olive oil or cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Cauliflower Tots with your favorite low-carb dip!
