Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, riced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: extra cheddar cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeño, beaten egg, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small tot shapes, about 1-1.5 inches long. Place the tots on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top of each tot.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tots are golden brown and firm.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can air fry the tots at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like a creamy avocado dip or a spicy ranch.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preferred level of heat.
