Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Chives
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Trim the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Add the florets to a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice-sized pieces.
Step 3
Transfer the riced cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy tots.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chives. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the cauliflower mixture and form them into small tot shapes by rolling and pressing them between your hands.
Step 6
Place the shaped tots onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip each tot over and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tots are golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the cauliflower tots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm alongside your favorite dipping sauce!
