Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1 cup plain cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 egg
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
While the oven is heating up, either steam or boil cauliflower florets until they are tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, drain it well and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Mash and Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, mash the cooled cauliflower until it is smooth.
To this mashed cauliflower, add cottage cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix everything together until it is well combined.
Step 3: Form the Tots
Gradually add breadcrumbs to the cauliflower mixture.
The mixture should be able to hold together but should not be too dry.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into tots.
Ensure that they are uniform in size for even baking.
Step 4: Bake the Cauliflower Tots
Place the formed tots on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
Bake the tots in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the cauliflower tots are done baking, remove them from the oven.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your crispy, healthy cauliflower tots!
