Cauliflower is a healthy vegetable that seems to be getting more popular every day.

It took me the longest time to accept cauliflower as I always thought it was rather tasteless. Certainly, there were, and are, vegetables that taste better than cauliflower to me.

However, cauliflower is healthy and thus, is also worth me taking a second look at.
While cauliflower is not totally carbohydrate-free, it is a good source of fiber. As a result, as carb counters know, the fiber helps keep those carbs down.

 

Cauliflower is an excellent source of certain vitamins and nutrients.

There are fewer foods that contain more vitamin C than cauliflower. Cauliflower also contains a good amount of vitamin B-6.

There are other good attributes of nutrition that come with cauliflower.
I am talking about potassium especially. Lastly, cauliflower is one of the few vegetables that are a decent source of protein (vegans and vegetarians take note!).

How to make Low Carb Air Fried Cauliflower Tots

 

• Prepare you cauliflower as described above by steaming it for three to four minutes. Allow the cauliflower to drain and cool thoroughly. When ready you can prepare the cauliflower by chopping it up fine or pulsing it in a a food processor or good blender. Skip this step if you are using cauliflower rice instead of cauliflower itself.
• Preheat your air fryer to 370. I like to gently spray my fryer basket with nonstick before placing it into the air fryer.
• In a large bowl, combine together the cauliflower, egg, bread crumbs, cheeses, and seasoning. Mix these together until you are able to form your tots. You can use a tablespoon to help you with this. If your mix need additional liquid, simply add a bit of water a teaspoon at a time. Tip: apply a bit of oil to your hands to help keep the ingredients from sticking to your hands.
• Place 6-8 tots (depending on the size) into the fryer taking care to not overlap them. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until done. Repeat the process until all of your tots are done.

Tip: You can find a reasonably priced as well top of the line air fryer here.
