Keto Cauliflower and Bacon Tater Tots:

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 c. cauliflower florets (about 1/2 large cauliflower)

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 cup shredded cheddar

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan

½ cup onion

½ cup NIKU Farms pasture-raised bacon 

2/3 c. panko breadcrumbs

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

For Oven

• Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
• In a food processor, pulse steamed cauliflower until riced. Place riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to drain water. (if you don’t have a food processor, crumble and dice the cauliflower until rice-sized)
• Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl with the egg, cheddar, Parmesan, onion, bacon, Panko, and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon mixture and roll it into a tater-tot shape with your hands. Place on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until tots are golden.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

For Air Fryer

• In a food processor, pulse cauliflower until riced. Place riced cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to drain water. (if you don’t have a food processor, crumble and dice the cauliflower until rice-sized)
• Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl with the egg, cheddar, Parmesan, onion, bacon, Panko, and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon mixture and roll it into a tater-tot shape with your hands. Working in batches, arrange in the basket of your air fryer in a single layer, spray some oil on top, and cook at 375° for 10 minutes, until tots are golden.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
