Try these easy Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots for a low carb, veggie packed side dish! These crispy tots are keto-friendly and have just 6 net carbs for 9 tots!
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:20 minutes
Total Time:35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 12 ounce bags frozen cauliflower florets
  • 1 egg*
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup pork rind panko regular panko if not keto
  • 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Steam the bags of cauliflower according to the package directions. Allow the package to cool enough that it is safe to handle. Pour the steamed cauliflower out onto a clean dish towel and ring as much water out as possible. Dry cauliflower will make crispy tots.
  • Place the dry, steamed cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it is in small pieces (see photo in post). If you find your cauliflower has a lot of moisture, place it back in the towel and ring out as much water as possible.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the dry cauliflower, egg, cheese, pork rind panko, green onions, bacon and seasoned salt.
  • Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture and form it into a tot. Place on a silicone lined baking sheet. This recipe makes 36 tots for me.
  • Lightly spray the top of the tots with cooking oil to help them crisp. Bake 20-25 minutes until they have begun to lightly brown and crisp.
