Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots
Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots are a delicious and healthier twist on traditional tater tots, made with riced cauliflower instead of potatoes, offering a crunchy, cheesy, and savory snack for all ages.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, riced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking.
- In a large bowl, combine riced cauliflower, cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small tots or balls.
Cooking
- If baking, place the tots on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
- Optionally, you can pan-fry them in hot oil until crispy on all sides.
Serving
- Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, barbecue sauce, or a tangy aioli.
Notes
Make sure to remove as much moisture from the riced cauliflower as possible. Adjust the spices to your taste, and for a crispier texture, try pan-frying instead of baking. Leftover tots can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
