Ingredients

Scale

1/2 a head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
1/2 of a medium onion
2 – 3 cloves garlic
10 mini carrots or 2 large carrots, peeled & cut into chunks
1 oz. Greek cream cheese (or Neufchatel)
1 egg white
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon Red Robin Seasoning (or your favorite seasoned salt), or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Trader Joe’s 21-Seasoning Salute (or your favorite non-salt seasoning), or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a baking sheet liberally with cooking spray. I used a silicon baking mat but I still sprayed it so that the bottoms of the tots would get crispy.
Put the cauliflower, onion, garlic, and carrots in a food processor and pulse several times to chop everything up fine. Put in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir, then microwave another 2 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese until well mixed, then the egg white, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs and seasonings. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
To shape the tots: scoop up some of the mixture with a Tablespoon measure, gently roll the mixture into your hand and then shape into a “tot” shape. Set on the prepared pan. Finish until all the mixture is used up, then spray the tots liberally with cooking spray.
Bake at 400 F. for 20 minutes, then spray them again and bake for another 10 minutes or until they are golden brown. While the tots are baking, make the dipping sauce-recipe here.
Pull the tots from the oven and serve with the sauce.
