Cauliflower and Vegan Parmesan Tater Tots
These cauliflower and vegan parmesan tater tots are bite-sized snacks that are lightly toasted on the outside and creamy on the inside, with a mild, delicious flavor.
Since they are made with vegetables instead of potatoes and baked in the oven instead of fried, these tater tots are lighter and contain less fat than conventional ones, which makes them a healthier and more complete version.
Although this time we have seasoned them with black pepper, the subtle flavor of cauliflower means this recipe works with a wide variety of spices, so it can be adapted to all tastes and preferences, letting us enjoy the benefits of cauliflower in whatever way we find most appealing.
As for their nutrients, these bites contain flavonoids, allicin, alliin, carotene, protein, carbohydrates, alpha-lipoic acid, terpenoids (antioxidants), fiber, essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, tryptophan, phytosterols, vitamins C, E and the B group (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B9 or folic acid); sulfur, boron, calcium, copper, chromium, phosphorus, iron, lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, sodium, vanadium and zinc.

- Step 1Wash the cauliflower, chop it finely in a food processor and steam it for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flaxseeds with the water in a bowl and set aside.
- Step 2When the cauliflower is cooked, turn off the heat and transfer it to a large bowl. Chop the onion, add it to the bowl with the cauliflower, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until everything is combined.
- Step 3Preheat the oven to 200 °C and, meanwhile, shape the tater tots. To do this, scoop up portions of dough with a spoon, shape them into cylinders about 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide and, as they are ready, place them in a baking dish greased with oil or on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. When all the tater tots are ready, put the dish or tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Step 4After this time, turn them over with the help of two teaspoons so that they cook on the other side and bake for 10 more minutes. After this time, take the tray out of the oven and serve.
