Description

These delightful little bites offer a comforting and familiar flavor profile, reminiscent of classic tater tots, but with a wholesome twist. Crafted with just a handful of simple ingredients and requiring only a few easy steps, they're incredibly easy to prepare. Imagine sinking your teeth into a perfectly crisp exterior that gives way to a soft, savory interior.

The mild taste of cauliflower blends seamlessly with the sharpness of cheddar cheese, creating a satisfyingly balanced flavor. A touch of seasoning enhances the overall taste, making these tots utterly irresistible. The preparation begins by transforming cauliflower into a smooth, versatile base.

Once steamed and mashed, it's combined with shredded cheddar cheese. This marriage of flavors creates a creamy texture and a subtle tang that enlivens the palate. A binding agent, such as an egg, helps to bring everything together, ensuring the tots hold their shape during cooking.

A blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper elevates the simple ingredients into a savory sensation. These tots are incredibly adaptable. They can be baked in the oven until golden brown and crispy or fried in a skillet until each side reaches crispy perfection.

Serve these golden-brown nuggets as a crowd-pleasing appetizer, a fun side dish, or even a satisfying snack. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor. They're fantastic with creamy ranch, tangy ketchup, or a spicy aioli.

Their appealing texture and savory taste make them a hit with kids and adults alike. Whether you're looking for a way to sneak more vegetables into your diet or simply craving a comforting snack, these are a fantastic option. They're a delightful treat that satisfies your cravings while keeping your health goals in mind.

Their simple preparation and irresistible taste make them a go-to recipe for any occasion.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the zucchini by shredding a large or medium-sized squash with a grater. Once the zucchini is shredded, squeeze all the excess liquid out of the shreds into your sink by hand. Transfer all the drained zucchini to a large mixing bowl. The weight listed in the ingredients is the yield after draining away the excess liquid.
    2.
    Season the shredded zucchini with salt and pepper. Mix in the eggs, cream, and shredded cheddar with a large mixing spoon until you have a zucchini batter. Spray a mini-muffin pan with pan spray. Use a #40 scoop or a tablespoon measurer to scoop the zucchini batter into the tins, filling each one up ¾ full. Scoop any excess liquid from the mixing bowl over the filled muffin tins.
    3.
    Bake the tray of zucchini tater tots for 20-25 minutes. The centers should pass a clean toothpick test and the tops and sides will be lightly golden brown. Let the tater tots cool for a few minutes before removing them. You can use a small spatula or a butter knife to loosen the tots from the muffin pan if needed. Enjoy 2-3 zucchini tater tots per serving.
