Cauliflower Tots
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
1
medium head cauliflower
(about 2 pounds), trimmed and broken
into small florets
5
tablespoons all-purpose flour
2
tablespoon butter, melted
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded 2% reduced fat
Colby and Monterey Jack cheese
¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2
large egg whites
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
Canola or olive oil cooking spray
HOW TO PREP
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add
cauliflower and boil until tender, 10 to 12
minutes. (You can also use a steam basket.)
Drain in a colander, shaking to remove
excess water. Using a potato masher or
food processer, mash the cauliflower until
it resembles clumpy rice. Once cooled, use
a cheese cloth or a dish towel to wring out
excess water. Transfer to a large bowl.
Stir flour, butter, cheese, seasonings, and
egg whites into the cooled cauliflower. Stir in
egg whites. Line a baking dish or pan with
plastic wrap, allowing the wrap to hang over
the edges. Spread the cauliflower mixture
into the pan and compact it into an even
layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in
refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking
sheet with cooking spray.
Gently turn the cauliflower mixture out onto
a cutting board and remove the plastic wrap.
Cut the mixture into evenly sized pieces and
roll each piece into a ball or cylinder shape.
Roll the pieces in the breadcrumbs, turning
to coat all sides. Place on the baking sheet,
about 1 inch apart.
Coat the tots with cooking spray. Bake,
turning once halfway through, until browned,
25 to 30 minutes.
