Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups riced cauliflower
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper or to taste

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Microwave
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425℉. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the cauliflower into small florets and add them to your food processor. Pulse a few times until the cauliflower resembles rice.
  3. Place the cauliflower in a microwavable container and cover with lid. Microwave for 10 minutes. Place the microwaved cauliflower in a large bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the cheeses, garlic, Italian seasoning, eggs, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower and stir everything together until well incorporated.
  5. Take about a tablespoon of the cauliflower mixture and form it into little tots, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all the remaining cauliflower.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Optionally, place them under the broiler for a couple of minutes to achieve a nice golden color.
  7. Serve with pizza sauce, sour cream, ketchup, or ranch dip.
