Ingredients
2 cups cauliflower rice, finely chopped or grated
1 large egg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup cheddar cheese, finely grated
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, egg, flour, cheddar cheese, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into approximately 15 small balls or log shapes. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for even cooking.
Bake for 20 minutes until the tots are heated through and firm when gently pressed.
For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2 additional minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Comments
This is a solid weeknight side that hits all the basics: cauliflower, eggs, flour, and cheddar are stocked at every Charlotte grocery chain, and the cost per serving lands around $1.50—mostly driven by the cheese. The stated 32 minutes is honest if you account for prepping and ricing the cauliflower by hand, though a food processor cuts that down. These reheat decently in a 350-degree oven for 8–10 minutes, making them fine for lunch the next day, and they work well for families with picky eaters since the cheese masks the vegetable. The main drawback is yield: three servings is thin for a family of four, so you'd need to double the batch.
