Chunky Monkey Trail Mix - Paleo snacks

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups raw cauliflower florets (about 2 cups when cooked)


• 1 large egg


• 1 large egg white


• 1/2 cup onion, diced


• 1 tsp garlic, minced


• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced


• 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese, grated


• 1/2 cup seasoned Panko breadcrumbs


• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. First, cook the cauliflower florets by pouring 1/4 inch of water into a large pan over medium heat. Once the water is simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the cauliflower. Cover with a lid and let simmer for about 5 minutes. The cauliflower should be tender, but not mushy when done.


2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.


3. Chop the cauliflower into fine pieces and place 2 cups of the cauliflower pieces into a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir.


4. Shape about 1 1/2 tablespoon of cauliflower mix into an egg-shape and place on a prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet.


5. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the tots occasionally to brown each side.


6. Serve immediately.
