Irresistibly crispy filled with cheesy goodness and the dreamy taste of cauliflower, these Air Fryer Cauliflower Tater Tots are perfect for snacking, parties, or just because you want to treat yourself.
Equipment
- Air-fryer
- Mixing bowls
- Food Processor (or a good old-fashioned knife and cutting board!)
- Clean Dish Towel
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower riced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup almond flour or breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rice the cauliflower by steaming or microwaving the florets, then pulse gently in a food processor until they've reached rice-like consistency.
- Wring out any excess moisture using a clean dish towel—this is crucial for keeping your tots crispy!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, shredded cheese, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small tots and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through for that even cooking magic!
- Serve warm and enjoy your crispy cauliflower goodness. You might just forget regular tater tots ever existed!
Notes
- Feel free to sprinkle some herbs or spices into the mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
- These tots can be frozen before cooking—just pop them into the air fryer straight from the freezer when you’re ready to chow down!
