Ingredients

For the Cauliflower Tater Tots

1 medium head cauliflower (about 1 lb / 450 g)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup almond flour

For the Gravy

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons almond flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For Topping

1 cup cheese curds
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mash the steamed cauliflower using a potato masher or food processor until smooth. Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and almond flour. Mix until well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, shape the cauliflower mixture into small, tot-like shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should have about 20 tots.
Bake the tater tots in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the tater tots are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the almond flour and cook for about 1 minute until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the gravy thickens.
Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven. Place a generous serving of tater tots on each plate, ladle the hot gravy over the tots, and top with cheese curds.
If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Cauliflower Tater Tot Poutine!

Notes

For a spicier version, consider adding some cayenne pepper to the tater tot mixture. This dish can be easily adjusted to suit your taste preferences by swapping out the cheese or using a different type of gravy.
