Quinoa Tater Tots

These Quinoa Tater Tots taste like the classic finger food we all love but are healthier and use way better ingredients! They are crunchy on the outside, with tender bits of quinoa, mushrooms, and chives on the inside.

Notes
- Skip the usual shape and make these quinoa tater tots into small patties to use for sliders or sandwiches.
- Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour brand.
- Make it oil-free by using a non-stick pan to fry them. You can also bake, or air fry them at 400 degrees F until they turn golden brown. Place the tots evenly spaced in the pan or basket so that the air can circulate around them and crisp them up nicely.
- To add more savory goodness, add vegan cheese or nutritional yeast to the mix before chilling them.
