Ingredients
- 2 pounds cauliflower florets
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded, approx 2 cups
- 12 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Using a grater, grate the florets until they are the size of cooked rice grains. Put the cauliflower into a bowl that is lined with a clean kitchen towel.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the cauliflower and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Fold the towel ends over the top of the bowl and microwave it for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the microwave and unfold the towel letting it cool down until it is comfortable to handle. Once cool, gather up the towel ends and twist while squeezing the cooked cauliflower to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Empty any liquid that remains in the bowl and add the cooked cauliflower into it, add the remaining ingredients and stir vigorously until fully combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture and place 1 ½ inches apart on the prepared pan to allow room for spreading. Gently pat the tots to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top with a dark brown on the bottom.
- Let the tots stand for 2 minutes on the pan before serving.
Notes
- These can be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 12 minutes (flip after 6 minutes).
- Be sure to squeeze the cauliflower very dry.
