Aprons on. Let’s do this.
- 01
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the olive oil on a lined baking sheet to prevent tots from sticking. Bring a pot of water about 1/4 of the way full to a boil.
- 02
Place the cauliflower florets in the pot of boiling water. Cover pot and let cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until they become tender. Once cooked drain well and dry with a paper towel or dish cloth. Chop florets finely and place into medium bowl.
- 03
In the bowl with the cauliflower, add the egg, egg whites, cheddar, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley and parmigiano reggiano. Mix thoroughly, then add the salt and pepper. Make sure all ingredients have been combined.
- 04
Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture into your hands and roll into smooth, small 2 inch long segments onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture has been used up.
- 05
Place the baking sheet into the oven and let cook for 8 – 9 minutes. Flip tots, and cook for another 8 – 9 minutes or until tots begin to turn golden. Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy.
