Additional thoughts

There are some things you need to know about this recipe:

The important thing when making these tots is to squeeze the excess liquid out of the cauliflower puree.

They should be eaten when warm and are better with the sauce I indicated below. However, my husband used sour cream with his, and he enjoyed that as well.

What ingredients are in these homemade gluten free cauliflower tots?

1 egg
¼ cup Romano grated
½ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
