CHeesy ‘keto’ cauliflower tots

Adapted from Real Simple

(serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups cauliflower rice

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • ½ cup almond meal

  • ½ cup parmesan, plus more for topping

  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.

  2. Combine the cauliflower rice, egg, onion, almond meal, parmesan, mozzarella, chives, and garlic powder. Season with a generous pinch of salt and several turns of freshly ground pepper, and stir it all up!

  3. Form the mixture into tots and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them evenly.

  4. This is optional, but I suggest adding a little extra parmesan cheese here. Just sprinkle a little on each tot.

  5. Off to bake! Leave them in for about 18-20 minutes. Flip them once after about 9 minutes, and continue baking until golden brown.
