Move over french fries, cauliflower tater tots are taking the spotlight!

Tater tots are my favorite form of deep-fried potatoes. I love how bite-sized, crispy and delicious they are! However, potatoes are a huge no-no when you are following a Ketogenic diet.

I followed a keto diet for 4 months straight and not only did I lose weight, I learned a lot about my eating habits as well.

I took a 2-month break from eating ketogenically to see how I would feel, and if there’s one thing I learned about keto it’s that my body agrees with it.

I am back on a ketogenic diet meal plan and I have never felt better.

My favorite part about keto is that I can get creative in the kitchen and make keto versions of my favorite foods– like tater tots.

I was first introduced to this recipe when I saw @zallibhai make it on her instagram stories. When I followed along her ingredient list, I quickly noticed it was keto-friendly! WIN!

I slightly adapted her recipe to include different forms of fat to help me stay full between meals.

Below are some ways I adapted her recipe to create these little puffs of joy:

  • In addition to 1 cup of almond meal (I used almond flour, but it’s the same thing), I also added 1/2 cup of hemp seeds and 1/2 cup of ground flaxseeds

  • I used a different blend of spices: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp of onion powder

  • Instead of red onion, I just used a small white onion

I boiled the cauliflower florets for about 20 minutes before mashing them. After draining and cooling the cauliflower, I added them to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients.

I shaped the cauliflower tater tots and then baked them on each side for 20 minutes to get them extra crispy.
