This recipe makes approximately 4 servings of Vegan Cauliflower Tater Tots.
Instructions:
1. Steam the Cauliflower:
Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer or a microwave-safe dish. Steam them until they are tender but not mushy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once steamed, allow them to cool for a few minutes.
2. Mash the Cauliflower:
Place the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. Then, mash the cauliflower in a large mixing bowl until it’s a relatively smooth consistency.
3. Add Ingredients:
To the mashed cauliflower, add the bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, minced onion, minced garlic, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
4. Form Tater Tots:
Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a tot, similar to a small cylinder or oval. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the mixture.
5. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
6. Bake the Tater Tots:
Place the tater tots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush them with olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve:
Serve your Vegan Cauliflower Tater Tots hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
