The Health Benefits of Cauliflower

Besides tasting great, cauliflower comes with many benefits for your health!

Cauliflower, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, is highly nutritious, as 1 cup contains over 75% of the daily recommendation for Vitamin C! This vitamin is essential for supporting your immune system, as well as repairing DNA and producing collagen and serotonin.

Another key nutrient is Vitamin K in cauliflower, which aids in the production of bone formation.

Cauliflower is also anti-inflammatory due to the high amount of anti-oxidants it contains.

Furthermore, cauliflower contains a great deal of fiber, about 12 grams per head. Fiber is key to a healthy digestive tract as it promotes regularity and nourishes your good gut bacteria!

First pour in the tots to the air fryer basket and spread into a single layer.

If you want to make 2 bags, do so in a separate batch as they will not get very crispy if there are too many layered on top of each other.

Then set the temperature to 400F for 15 minutes.

Halfway through cooking, or around 7 minutes, remove the basket from the air fryer.

Using a spatula, flip the veggie tots over to the other side to promote even browning. (This is optional but recommended)

Then return the basket to the air fryer and let it finish cooking.

Once done, the veggie tots should be nicely brown and crisp on the outside. Remove to a serving plate and enjoy!

If serving to young children, let them cool down for a few minutes first.
