Cheesy Cauliflower Tots

Who loves tater tots? We do! So today we’re switching things up and using cauliflower rice and cheese in our tots. Oh yeah.

Everyone loves tater tots, right? Well, we’ve been telling you how to use riced cauliflower as a substitute for carbohydrates (check out this cauliflower mash and this cauliflower pizza crust).Tots are a great place to push that cauliflower substitution thing even further. Make up some homemade tater tots but use riced cauliflower instead of potato. They’re adorable and kids seriously love them.

This recipe is from Produce For Kids. Thanks for letting us share it, guys! We <3 you!
