Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 lb. cauliflower florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup blanched finely ground almond flour ((4 oz))
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar ((4 oz))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with high-heat-resistant parchment paper and spray them with olive oil.
  • Place the cauliflower florets in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave on high until tender, stirring midway through cooking. Frozen florets will need a total cooking time of about 7 minutes. Fresh florets will need a total cooking time of about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the cauliflower florets well and place them on a clean kitchen towel to dry. Add them to your food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
  • Add the eggs, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to the food processor bowl. Briefly process to combine.
  • Add the almond flour and the cheddar and process until well combined.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheets. Each baking sheet should hold 12 mounds of the mixture, evenly spaced. Gently flatten them, just a little, with the back of a spoon.
  • Spray the tots with olive oil spray. Bake them until the bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Flip to the other side, gently flatten some more, spray with more oil, and bake until set, about 10 more minutes. Serve immediately.
