Low Carb Air Fryer Cauliflower Tots
Ingredients
- Cauliflower1 lb
- Parmesan cheese · grated1 ½ cups
- Cheddar cheese · finely shredded⅓ cups
- Egg · beaten1
- Panko1 cup
- Garlic powder1 tsp
- Onion powder2 tsp
- Thyme · dried2 tsp
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Microwave the florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 3 tablespoons of water, covered, for no more than 3 minutes. Or steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water for 6 to 8 minutes. The florets should not become very tender.
- Pulse the florets in a food processor until they look like grains of rice, without making them as fine as couscous.
- Place the cauliflower on a cheesecloth or heavy paper towel, fold the ends over and squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Put the squeezed cauliflower in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and stir. If the mixture is too dry, test a tot: it should hold together when squeezed. If still too dry, add another lightly beaten egg.
- Shape into tots and place on a parchment-lined baking tray or in the air-fryer basket.
- Spray the tots with avocado oil just before cooking.
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown, in batches if needed.
