Lemon Pepper Cauliflower Nuggets

Directions

1. Set the oven to 200°C and lightly grease a sheet pan. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

2. Blanch the cauliflower in the boiling water for 3 minutes, then instantly transfer it to an ice bath to halt cooking. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to eliminate excess moisture.

3. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, eggs, cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, and lemon pepper seasoning, mixing until fully combined.

5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions, shape them into tots, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, flip each tot, and bake for another 10–12 minutes, until nicely browned on both sides.
