    Ingredients

    What you need for cooking frozen cauliflower / broccoli / veggie tots in air fryer machines.

    These are the frozen breaded cauliflower tater tots used in this air fryer recipe demo.
    • 1 bag of veggie tots (16 oz cauliflower tots, broccoli tots, or zucchini tots)
    • Ketchup or honey mustard dipping sauce (optional)
    • A little fresh cilantro (optional)

    How to make air fryer veggie tots

    Infographic demonstrating how to air fry veggie tots with cauliflower
    1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray if desired.
    2. Add veggie tots to the preheated air fryer basket. I used a Phillips XXL air fryer in this demo, and all the cauliflower tots fit in the air fryer in a single layer.
    3. Cook veggie tots in the air fryer for 7 minutes. Flip them with a spatula (delicately, they will be very soft), and finish cooking for 3-6 minutes more. Exactly how long to cook frozen cauliflower tots in air fryer depends on how crisp you like them on the outside.
    4. Let air fried veggie tots cool for a few minutes in a serving dish (they will be very hot and need to set and firm up). Serve with a side of ketchup or honey mustard dipping sauce and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired.

    Another healthy air fryer side dish kids love? This simple air fryer broccoli. It’s perfect for enjoying on it’s own, or as a vegetable topping for pita bread pizza.

    FAQs

    Are cauliflower tots healthy?

    Cauliflower tots are low carb and healthier than tater tots, and if you cook them up in the air fryer you’re using one of the best low-fat prep methods there are! Cauliflower tater tots are also gluten free, if wheat is an issue at your house.

    What can I serve with frozen air fryer cauliflower tots?

    Serve your air fryer cauliflower tots with ketchup, pesto, or your favorite dipping sauces like this jalapeno ranch dressing.  My family enjoys eating these alongside air fryer chicken wings — yum!

    Where can you buy veggie tots?

    You can find Birds Eye brand or Green Giant veggie tots in most grocery stores. The cauliflower tots are the most popular but their veggie fries are good, too. Costco also sells frozen veggie bites.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
