CAULIFLOWER-CARROT CHEESY TOTS



Cauliflower-Carrot Cheesy Tots image

This play on traditional tater tots swaps in cauliflower and carrot for the usual potato, adding a sweet, vegetal flavor and a good dose of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. The baked method might be easier (and slightly healthier), but the super-crispy fried method is more finger-licking good. Either way, these tots are the perfect party snack.

Yield Makes 34

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium carrots (about 8 1/2 ounces), peeled, coarsely chopped
8 ounces cauliflower florets
5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan (about 1 ounce)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar (about 1 ounce)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), divided
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
Ketchup, for serving

Steps:

  • Pulse carrots and cauliflower in a food processor (or grate carrot on smallest holes and cauliflower on largest holes of a box grater) until rice-like in texture. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp. oil and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high 3 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, mix cheeses, garlic, chives, pepper, 1/2 cup panko, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Stir in carrot mixture until well combined.
  • Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Using your hands, roll tablespoonfuls of carrot mixture into tater-tot shapes. Transfer to prepared sheet, then chill at least 10 minutes.
  • Place flour in a shallow baking dish. Mix remaining 1 cup panko and 4 Tbsp. oil in another shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Working in batches, toss tots in flour, then dredge in egg, shaking off excess, then coat in panko mixture. Return to baking sheet and chill at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • To Bake:
  • Arrange a rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Spray with nonstick spray, then transfer tots to rack. Bake tots until deep golden brown and cheese is melted (check by piercing a tot with a paring knife), 22-25 minutes. Serve immediately with ketchup.
  • To Fry:
  • For extra-crispy tots, fill a large, deep-sided skillet with 1" vegetable oil and heat over medium to 350°F. Working in batches, fry tots, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined platter or baking sheet. Serve immediately with ketchup.
  • Do Ahead
  • Tot mixture can be formed but not breaded 1 day ahead; cover loosely with plastic and chill.

Tips:

  • For a crispier tot, use a combination of fresh and frozen cauliflower.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower, or it will become mushy.
  • Make sure the tots are cooked through before serving.
  • Serve the tots with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
  • You can also top the tots with cheese, bacon, or other toppings.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower tater tots are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional tater tots. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty snack or side dish that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthier option, give cauliflower tater tots a try!
