CAULIFLOWER TOTS

THESE CAULIFLOWER TOTS CONTAIN CAULIFLOWER, CARROTS, ONION AND CAPSICUM PEPPER. A GREAT VEGGIE PACKED FINGER FOOD FOR KIDS.

As the end of the week approaches, and the fridge is looking bare, I have to start getting inventive in the kitchen. My Mum used to call concoctions like this “end of cupboard meals” and I remember, as a kid, looking forward to seeing what her end of cupboard meal would be each week.
With a left over cauliflower in the fridge, these cauliflower tots were last week’s end of cupboard meal. The boys loved them, as they do with most finger foods, and Finn said “Mum, you have to put these on Healthy Little Foodies”  So, with the seal of approval from my 5 and 2 year old, I have decided to share the recipe!
