Baked Cauliflower Tots in a Muffin Tin

Sarah Remmer, RD
Baking cauliflower tots in a 12-cup muffin tin couldn’t be more simple. Think "tater-tots" only a lot more nutritious! These cauli-tots are a good option for baby-led weaning with cauliflower, or a toddler-friendly dinner idea. Best of all, these bite-size vegetable tots take just 30 minutes to make.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups cauliflower blanched and chopped (to blanch, place cauliflower in a pot with boiling water for about 30-60 seconds, drain and rinse quickly with cold water to stop the cooking process)
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup diced onion
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 F and grease a mini muffin-tin (can also form into "tots" yourself and
    place on a greased baking sheet)
  • Add all ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and mix well.
  • Scoop about 1 tbsp of mixture into each mini muffin cup and press down firmly
  • Bake at 400 F for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown on top. Enjoy with your favourite dip or on their own, with a meal or as a snack!
