Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets and chop them into small, rice-sized pieces using a food processor.
Step 3
Transfer the chopped cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel, gather the towel's ends, and squeeze tightly to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into small tot-sized cylinders using your hands or a small ice cream scoop; you should get about 20-24 tots.
Step 6
Arrange the tots on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Lightly spray them with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tots are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 8
Remove the tots from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a low-carb appetizer or side dish.
