So I used 1 large egg (including the yolk) and just beat it into the cauliflower mixture! Guess what? It worked perfectly! And I used a 10 oz. box of frozen cauliflower florets instead of fresh, to make it even easier! Just thaw and squeeze the heck out of the cauliflower to drain all the excess liquid! Instead of the pastry bag I just plopped it onto a parchment lined cookie sheet using two spoons. Again, it worked perfectly!
These cauliflower tater tots were delicious! Especially if you're a fan of cauliflower like I am! They have a nice strong cauliflower flavor but are light,fluffy and cheesy! This is a low carb recipe!
Here is the link to the original recipe...'Cheesy Cauliflower Tater Tots'...and below is my photo of how mine turned out! And I included my easy version of this recipe!

| Cheesy Cauliflower Tater Tots INGREDIENTS; 1 Medium head of cauliflower - I used 10 oz. frozen thawed and squeezed dry 2 Tbls. heavy cream - I used light cream 2 Tbls. butter 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese 4 egg whites - I used 1 large egg with yolk salt and pepper to taste - I used 1/4 tsp. of each garlic powder to sprinkle ontop after baked - my idea MY EASY DIRECTIONS; In a microwave safe bowl add cauliflower, light cream and butter. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Transfer cauliflower mixture to a food processor with cheese and pulse slightly until it's the texture of oatmeal. Add salt and pepper. Place back into bowl. Then add in egg and beat until fully combined. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drop cauliflower mixture by the spoonful onto parchment paper...you should get about 14 tater tots. Bake on center rack, uncovered, for about 18 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from oven and sprinkle with garlic powder. Serve warm or room temp. |
