Keto/low carb
This is a simple recipe for delicious cauliflower tots.
Cauliflower has an important role in the low carb and keto diet.
You can steam it, make a salad of it, or bake it.
It can be used as a pizza crust, as low carb "rice", and also to make a tasty béchamel sauce.
This time I wanted to make tots.
Of course cauliflower can be replaced with grated zucchini to make zucchini tots (Greek kolokithokeftedes).
