Cheesy cauliflower tots are the perfect mixture of a healthy and tasty snack or meal option for kids. Cauliflower has so many benefits and is a good vegetable to introduce to your toddlers & kids.  Cauliflower is a great source of fiber and improves digestive health. It also strengthens bones, as it is rich in Vitamin K, which is important for growing toddlers and kids.  Also, the sulfur in cauliflower supports proper nutrient absorption and waste removal!

I love creating healthy and tasty dishes for my son. These cheesy cauliflower tots are totally customizable, and you can add in whatever herbs, spices, and seasonings your toddler likes.  You can give them as a snack or as a side dish to his or her lunch or dinner.  I love using cajun seasoning in his food as I feel like it has the perfect blends of herbs and spices.  Have fun with it and experiment with different seasonings, herbs, and spices.

I hope your little one enjoys these cheesy cauliflower tots just as much as mine did.
