These are one of our fave side dishes and make for a great snack too!
Sides We Love
When planning dinner, I most often have a main dish in mind (like roast chicken or pork chops) but I am always looking for new side dish ideas. I’m also somewhat obsessed with cookbooks. If you’re looking for some great side dish inspiration, you will LOVE The Ultimate Guide to Vegetable Side Dishes by Rebecca Lindamood. This book is packed with over 100 side dish recipes! You might recognize Rebecca’s famous melting sweet potatoes recipe (MUST try) or the best ever candied jalapenos, and this collection will just add to your favorites!
This book has…
Easy to follow recipes with ingredients I usually have on hand (plus some new ingredients when I want to change it up) Sorted by veggie for easy inspiration based on what is in your fridge Hard to find recipes for veggies (too many radishes or green onions? Got leftover broccoli stems? Rebecca has recipes for those)! Classics like pea salad and green beans & bacon but new twists on old favorites too (like Korean smashed potatoes)!
This book is jam-packed with lots of inspiration, ideas, and tips along with gorgeous photos. It’s a staple in my kitchen already.
Ingredients
I knew we’d love this recipe since we love homemade tater tots so much! CAULIFLOWER RICE Cauliflower is used in these tots. Rice your own or to make it quick, buy frozen riced cauliflower. CORNMEAL & EGG Cornmeal and eggs help bind these little bites and the cornmeal adds crispiness and flavor. FLAVOR Sharp cheddar cheese, bacon bits, need we say more? Yum!
How to Make Cauliflower Tots
Cauliflower tots are a fun and tasty treat, perfect for game night or a great side next to chicken nuggets!
