Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.
Steam or boil cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly.
3.
Once cooled, either chop the cauliflower very finely or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-like pieces. Be careful not to over-process.
4.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, shredded cheese, gluten-free panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
5.
Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a small tot. Place the tot on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
6.
Drizzle the tots with olive oil.
7.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
8.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (optional).

Chef's Tips

To make the tots even crispier, broil them for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

For added flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped fresh herbs to the mixture.

These tots can be frozen for later. Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
