Cauliflower Tots

After making these Baked Zucchini Cakes for the Super Bowl, it reminded me how easy it is to get your kids to eat more veggies when they are disguised a little more.

I had bought a head of cauliflower to make Cauliflower Rice Pilaf this week but decided to kick it up a notch by making these little cauliflower tots instead.

I served them along side turkey burgers and they were the perfect compliment. We dipped ours in a little mustard instead of ketchup. So good!!

They also fit amazing into a low carb diet.  The beauty of veggies!  Volume eating without the guilt.
