Cauli-tots

These are AH-mazing. Crispy bottomed bites of cauli-yum. (Before you ask, yes, they do taste like cauliflower). These will be Family Faves!

Ingredients

  • 12 oz riced cauliflower (defrosted if using frozen. Can use fresh as well)
  • 1 -2 oz minced onion
  • 1/2 tsp avocado oil
  • 2 T Parm, grated
  • 1 oz Ground pork rinds/pork panko
  • 3 soft cooked slices of bacon, minced – you want the cook on these cooked, but not crispy – also pat excess oil off strips before mincing for best results.
  • 2.5 oz Cheese of your choice, shredded
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 tsp salt,
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder,
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder. (feel free to add more to your liking!)

Directions

Heat oil, cook onion 1-2 mins. Add cauliflower. Stirring regularly, don’t let anything burn!

Cook 5-6 mins. Will be lightly cooked, not soft.

Remove from heat and cool to room temp.

In a bowl, combine all remaining ingredients, add cauliflower and stir.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment (REQUIRED or they will stick) and form rounds with cookie scoop or spoon.

Press the mix into that scoop to make a compacted firm Tot. You should get about 24.

With clean, damp fingers, clean up the surface of the tots if needed.

Bake 450 for 16-20 mins.

Let cool completely before moving to a plate.

Serve with Keto Ketchup!

*You can make these without the bacon, if doing so, up the salt another ¼ tsp. I don’t recommend without the pork rinds. And they won’t work at all without the cheese!
