Cauliflower Tater Tot Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Cut the head of cauliflower in half, remove the stem, and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the corn, carrots, black beans, and 2 cups (600 g) of cauliflower and cook, stirring often, for another 3 minutes, until the corn starts to brown around the edges.
• Add the flour, chili powder, and salt and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
• Add the milk and diced tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the mozzarella cheese and stir until melted.
• Turn off the heat and arrange the tater tots on top of the vegetable mixture.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
• Garnish the casserole with tomato, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, if using.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled.
• Chop cauliflower finely until it is the size of rice grains.
• Measure out 2 cups cauliflower "rice" into a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, egg white, parsley flakes, minced onion, salt, and black pepper. Form into 30 small logs. Arrange on the lined baking sheet; spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the bottom, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven, flip, and spray with cooking spray. Continue baking until lightly browned on the other side, 8 to 9 minutes more.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top position of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Set a cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool in the skillet.
• Remove the outer leaves and core of the cauliflower heads. Separate the heads into large florets, and trim away most of the remaining smaller stems. In 2 batches, process the florets in a food processor until very finely chopped, almost a paste, then transfer the paste to a large bowl. Wipe out the food processor.
• Put the cauliflower in the middle of a double layer of cheesecloth, and gather up the sides into a bundle. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can over the sink, then put the cauliflower back in the bowl. Add the browned onion, almond meal, egg whites and 2 teaspoons salt, and work together with your hands until combined and the mixture holds together when squeezed. Scoop out even tablespoonfuls, roll each into a ball and shape into a squared-off tot shape, and line them up on a baking sheet. (The tots can be covered loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.)
• Pulse the rice cereal in the food processor until finely ground, and transfer to a small dish. Whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup water in a medium bowl. Line up the tots, egg wash, ground cereal and prepared baking sheet with the rack on your work surface. Dip the tots in the egg wash (let the excess drip off), roll them in the cereal to fully coat and place on the rack. (To avoid a mess, designate one hand for dipping and retrieving in the egg and the other for rolling in the cereal.) Spray each tot all over with the cooking spray, turning as needed. (Unsprayed breaded tots can be placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet, frozen until solid, about 2 hours, then transferred to a large freezer bag for up to 1 month. Coat with cooking spray before baking.)
• Bake the tots on the prepared baking sheet until golden brown outside and hot inside, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Serve with desired dipping sauces.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange cauliflower tots evenly in the prepared dish.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli and bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Spoon mixture over tots in the prepared dish.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl. Pour evenly over sausage, vegetables, and tots. Sprinkle with Swiss and Parmesan cheeses.
• Bake in the preheated oven, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until bubbly, about 30 minutes more.
