- Steam the cauliflower for 10-12 minutes or until soft. Set aside to cool. Once cool, mince the cauliflower.
- Stir the remaining ingredients into the minced cauliflower, and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
- After resting, stir the mixture again. Scoop cauliflower with a Tbsp. measure onto the sprayed baking sheet. Form the ball into the shape of a tater-tot. Repeat to make 35 tots.
- Spray the top of each tot with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the tots and bake an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.
