Preparation

Step 1

While I was mixing the ingredients together and making a mess out of the kitchen, Maja (the cat) kept stretching up my leg wanting attention. It’s a new habit she has developed. I picked her up and held her with one arm while trying to cook with the other. That’s all she wants. She is perfectly content just being held.

This recipe can get a little messy, but I promise it’s worth it. Use your hands to shape the tots using about 1 1/2 tablespoon of cauliflower mix for each. Before baking, the tots are a little fragile and might be difficult to shape. However, they will firm up in the oven. You may add an extra dash of breadcrumbs to keep them together, but keep in mind the nutritional value will change.

Since this is a healthy recipe, I have included nutrition facts below the recipe. This recipe makes approximately 24 tots, so the serving size is 6 tots. If you decide to make smaller tots, then the nutrition facts will apply to one-quarter of the total tots.

I’m the kind of person that makes smaller tots so I don’t feel guilty eating more of them.

First, cook the cauliflower florets by pouring 1/4 inch of water into a large pan over medium heat. Once the water is simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the cauliflower. Cover with a lid and let simmer for about 5 minutes. The cauliflower should be tender, but not mushy when done.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chop the cauliflower into fine pieces and place 2 cups of the cauliflower pieces into a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir.

Shape about 1 1/2 tablespoon of cauliflower mix into an egg-shape and place on a prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet.
