Baked Cauliflower Tater Tots
Ingredients
Instructions
First, preheat the oven to 350°F, grease a nonstick baking sheet liberally with cooking spray and cut your cauliflower into florets.
Cook them in salted boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until your florets can be pierced with a fork and still maintain their shape.
Drain them well (very well) and transfer them into a food processor, pulsing the cauliflower for a few seconds just until the it breaks down into small pieces.
Measure out 3 packed cups of the cauliflower and add it to a large bowl. Then, stir in the rest of the ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined. It should look like the texture of mashed potatoes.
Form your tater tots on the baking tray. The recipe should yield around 15 tots. Toss them into the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce, which is mustard, of course.
