Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Use fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower florets. Avoid using frozen or wilted vegetables, as they will not hold their shape as well.
  • Grate the vegetables finely: This will help them to bind together better and prevent the tots from falling apart.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: This will give the tots a more complex flavor. Cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella are all good choices.
  • Add some spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all good options. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Don't overcook the tots: They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside.

Conclusion:

Cheesy broccoli cauliflower tots are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect tots every time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give these cheesy broccoli cauliflower tots a try!
