Ingredients
Cauliflower
You will need one medium head of fresh cauliflower (about 2 cups when riced). Cauliflower is rich in vitamins C and K and serves as a great low-carb alternative to potatoes.
Cottage Cheese
Use 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese for this recipe. Its creamy texture adds moisture and protein to the tots while keeping them light and fluffy.
Eggs
Two large eggs act as a binding agent in this recipe. Eggs help hold all the ingredients together while adding extra protein to your dish.
Bread Crumbs
You will need 1 cup of plain bread crumbs. These will give the tots their crispy exterior when baked in the oven.
Shredded Cheese
Grate about 1 cup of your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar. The melted cheese enhances flavor and adds richness to every bite.
Green Onions
Chop 1/4 cup of green onions for added freshness. They lend a mild onion flavor that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
Garlic Powder
Use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to infuse an aromatic flavor into your tots. Garlic powder enhances the overall taste without being overpowering.
Salt and Pepper
Season with salt and pepper according to taste. These seasonings bring out the flavors in all the other ingredients.
