Keto Loaded Cauliflower Tots
These crispy, savory cauliflower tots are the perfect low carb and keto friendly snack that everyone will love. Great for parties or game day!
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower Florets
- 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/3 cup Almond Flour
- 1 Large Egg
- 3 slices Bacon, cooked and finely crumbled
- 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- Avocado Oil Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment lightly with avocado oil cooking spray.
- Steam or microwave the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel. Wring out as much water as possible. This step is critical for crispy tots.
- Finely chop the squeezed cauliflower and place it in a large bowl. Add the cheddar, almond flour, egg, crumbled bacon, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms.
- Scoop out roughly one tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape each portion into a small oval or cylinder, packing it tightly. Place each tot on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray the tops of the tots lightly with avocado oil cooking spray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them over gently at the halfway point.
- Continue baking until the tots are golden and crispy on the outside. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. They firm up perfectly as they rest. Serve with sour cream on the side.
