Ingredients
Cauliflower Tots
- 4 cups riced cauliflower about 1 medium head
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Ground Beef
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the riced cauliflower and microwave it for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Allow it to cool, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you have a uniform mixture.
- Shape the mixture into small tots and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the tots are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Break the meat into crumbles and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- Serve the hot cauliflower tots with the seasoned ground beef on the side or on top for a delicious, keto-friendly meal.
Notes
Ensure the cauliflower is as dry as possible to prevent soggy tots.
Adjust the seasoning of the ground beef according to your preference.
The tots are best served fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick snack or meal addition.
