Prep the Cauliflower Tots
Add riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Steam on high for 90 seconds. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess moisture (cheesecloth can help).
Separately, combine the dry ingredients: Parmesan, pork rinds, and spices.
Add jalapeno, onion, and cheddar to cauliflower and mix to combine. Next, stir in the beaten egg and parmesan mixture.
Divide mixture into tablespoon sized portions, and form into tater tot shape with your hands.
- For maximum flavor, I'd recommend sharp cheddar for these jalapeno cheddar cauliflower tots.
- You can buy prepared crushed pork rinds, or make your own by pulsing whole pork rinds in a food processor.
- These tots are great served with a low carb ketchup like Alterna Sweets for dipping! You can save on your order with the code tryketo.
