{Healthy Snack Recipe} Cauliflower Tots

By Shannon Mayhew

Cauliflower Tots

“Comfort food” is by far one of my favorite foods to eat: Anything from mac and cheese, pizza, tater tots, hamburgers, etc…

But let’s be honest, most of that stuff isn’t fat loss friendly! 

When I came across a recipe for Cauliflower Tots I knew I had to give it a try, with a few minor adjustments.  I love tater tots, but like I mentioned earlier, they’re not very fat loss friendly. 

Instead of using traditional potatoes, I used cauliflower, yes you read that correctly, cauliflower….

  • ½ tsp ground mustard

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray mini muffin pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Shred cauliflower. (I used my food processor) Put cauliflower in a towel to get out excess water.
  3. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  4. Spoon mixture into mini muffin pan. Press mixture firmly with back of spoon.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

BONUS: Cauliflower Tots are also kid friendly, and a great way to get them to eat vegetables. 🙂
