Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • ½ cup Cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup oat fiber

Instructions

Make & cook the cauliflower rice

  • Cut the cauliflower into stalks and place in a food processor. Pulse until you have cauliflower rice.
  • Place the cauliflower in a bowl with 3 tablespoons water. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the microwave and allow to stand for 2 minutes. When removing the clingfilm be careful not to scold yourself with the steam.
  • Squeeze any excess water from the cauliflower using either a nutbag or a large strong, paper towel.

Assemble the Tots

  • Place the cooked cauliflower rice into a medium bowl and add the seasoning and grated Cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  • Add the oat fiber to bind the mixture. If the cauliflower mixture is too moist then add more oat fiber.
  • Using clean, damp heads, shape the cauliflower mixture into tots (small barrel shapes). A ball shape works too.

Cooking the Tots

  • Lightly spray the air fryer tray with oil.
  • Place the cauliflower tots in a single layer on the tray and give a quick light spray with oil.
  • Cook at 200C/400F for 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
