Cauliflower is a wonderful, low carb substitute for potatoes, can be made into tortillas, biscuits and work great to make keto cauliflower tater tots that are fun and delicious for adults and kids! In addition to being a versatile, low carb alternative to starchy vegetables and grains, cauliflower is high in fiber (yay, net carbs!)has a pretty robust nutritional profile with one serving providing 100% of the daily recommended allowance of Vitamin C, which is essential to overall health. It’s also a great source of antioxidants and Choline – a nutrient that regulates mood, enhances memory and helps with muscle control.

These keto cauliflower tater tots are so easy to make and are a perfect dupe for traditional tater tots without the carbs! I love these with Sir Kensington’s Spicy Ketchup or a low carb ranch. We serve these on the side with our keto burgers on Monday’s burger night and even created a cheesy, nacho-type snack by topping them with my keto chili and cheese! YUM!

You can either fry these up in a pan as directed below, or throw them in the air fryer (one of my favorite gadgets) – just pop them in at 400? for about 9 minutes and they come out crispy and delicious!
