Cauliflower Tots

I bought some from Green Giant. They're pretty good and creamy as well. But I wondered what was in them that made them creamy. Still don't know.

Anyway, I decided to make my own. First go-around was pretty pathetic. I followed the youtube recipe to the tee and ended up with MUSH with a crispy outside. Not my thing. And they looked like golden yellow turds.

So here's my altered recipe. I just ate some. They were recieved well by the family as well. So here goes:

preheat oven to 375

1 bag cauliflower pearls, pulse in batches in processor, all but 1 cup.

heat in microwave for 3 minutes

Let cool and then squeeze excess liquid in a t-towel

Place in bowl with:

1/4 c. panko bread crumbs
1/4 c. shredded white cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1 tsp each salt, paprika
1/4 c. dried minced onion

Mix well. Then form into tots using a cookie scoop for amount

Bake for 10-12 minutes til golden, gently turn and bake another 3 minutes

Let sit for 1 minute then serve

I hope you like these.
