5-INGREDIENT BAKED CAULIFLOWER TOTS
Skip the spuds and ditch the deep-fryer in favor of this quick and healthy recipe for 5-Ingredient Baked Cauliflower Tots. Potato-less cauliflower tots, a.k.a. a veggie-packed, slightly cheesy, absolutely easy alternative to the traditional finger food we all know and love. Aside from being the ultimate way to sneak veggies into any meal, cauliflower tots have many redeeming qualities: They're made with only five ingredients. Sweet! They're baked, rather than fried. They're a (nearly) starch-free side dish or snack. Suddenly craving cauliflower? Preheat your oven, grab the veggies and feel free to fancify these tots by tossing in fresh herbs or spices for added zing. Then all that's left to do is dip and dunk in your choice of sauces, from ketchup to roasted garlic aioli and beyond. Phew. An entire post about tots and not a single "Napoleon Dynamite" reference. (Now give me some of your tots!)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a nonstick baking sheet generously with cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets to the water and cook just until fork tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Thoroughly drain the florets, then transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower for a few seconds just until it breaks down into small pieces (about the size of grains of rice). (Do not overmix the cauliflower or the mixture will be too wet to form.)
- Measure out 3 packed cups of the cauliflower and add it to a large bowl. Stir in the onion (see Cook's Note), Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, mixing until thoroughly combined. (The mixture should be roughly the consistency of mashed potatoes.)
- Using your hands, scoop up 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and mold it into a tater tot shape. Place it on the prepared baking sheet, then repeat the shaping process with the remaining mixture, spacing the tots about 1 inch apart. Spray the tops with cooking spray for a little extra crunch.
- Bake the tots for 20 minutes, then flip them and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until crisped. Remove and serve with ketchup or your preferred dipping sauce.
BAKED CAULIFLOWER TOTS
What can't cauliflower do? It's delicious as a puree, makes a great meaty steak and now, can be enjoyed as the ultimate finger food-a crunchy tot. We use crispy rice cereal as a gluten-free breading. A hot oven (and a little cooking spray) gets you a crackling exterior without deep frying.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top position of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Set a cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool in the skillet.
- Remove the outer leaves and core of the cauliflower heads. Separate the heads into large florets, and trim away most of the remaining smaller stems. In 2 batches, process the florets in a food processor until very finely chopped, almost a paste, then transfer the paste to a large bowl. Wipe out the food processor.
- Put the cauliflower in the middle of a double layer of cheesecloth, and gather up the sides into a bundle. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can over the sink, then put the cauliflower back in the bowl. Add the browned onion, almond meal, egg whites and 2 teaspoons salt, and work together with your hands until combined and the mixture holds together when squeezed. Scoop out even tablespoonfuls, roll each into a ball and shape into a squared-off tot shape, and line them up on a baking sheet. (The tots can be covered loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.)
- Pulse the rice cereal in the food processor until finely ground, and transfer to a small dish. Whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup water in a medium bowl. Line up the tots, egg wash, ground cereal and prepared baking sheet with the rack on your work surface. Dip the tots in the egg wash (let the excess drip off), roll them in the cereal to fully coat and place on the rack. (To avoid a mess, designate one hand for dipping and retrieving in the egg and the other for rolling in the cereal.) Spray each tot all over with the cooking spray, turning as needed. (Unsprayed breaded tots can be placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet, frozen until solid, about 2 hours, then transferred to a large freezer bag for up to 1 month. Coat with cooking spray before baking.)
- Bake the tots on the prepared baking sheet until golden brown outside and hot inside, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Serve with desired dipping sauces.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
- If using whole cauliflower, remove the outer leaves and core. Cut into large chunks and add half to a food processor. Plus until finely chopped, and becomes almost like a paste. Transfer to a bowl, and continue chopping the rest of the cauliflower in the same way. If using just the stalks of cauliflower you've saved, chop up the stalks and proceed as directed.
- Once all of the cauliflower has been chopped up, transfer it onto several layers of cheesecloth, bundle up and then squeeze all of the moisture out of it, as much as you possibly can. Transfer to a large bowl, and set aside.
- Set a frying pan over medium-high heat with the oil. Once hot, add in the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool and then add into the bowl with the cauliflower.
- Add in the almond flour, egg whites, teaspoon hot sauce, salt, and cayenne pepper, stirring until well combined.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, or a tablespoon measuring spoon, portion out a bit of the mixture onto your hands and shape into a tot, placing onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray them all with cooking spray and bake for 8 minutes. Flip over and continue cooking for another 8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Toss the cooked tots with hot sauce and transfer to a serving dish. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
