Cauliflower and vegan parmesan tater tots
These cauliflower and vegan Parmesan tater tots are bite-sized morsels, lightly golden on the outside and creamy on the inside, with a mild, delicious flavor.
Since they are made with a vegetable instead of potato 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 subtlety of cauliflower means this recipe accepts a wide variety of spices, so it can be adapted to all tastes and preferences, letting us benefit from the properties of cauliflower in whichever 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 fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6, tryptophan, phytosterols, vitamins C, E and B vitamins (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. While it's preheating, shape the tater tots. Using a spoon, scoop portions of dough and roll them into cylinders about 3 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. As you roll them, place them on an oiled baking sheet or a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Once all the tater tots are rolled, place the baking sheet 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.
