These Quinoa Tater Tots taste like the classic finger food we all love but are healthier and use way better ingredients! They are crunchy on the outside, with tender bits of quinoa, mushrooms, and chives on the inside. Packed with fiber, proteins, antioxidants, and complete with essential amino acids, these golden nuggets can be eaten any time of the day without the usual guilt and worry! This dairy-free and egg-less recipe can also be made gluten-free and oil-free too.
If you love tater tots and stand by them, then you have no quarrel with me! I love those mini potato hashbrowns as much as the next person. However, these quinoa-based croquettes are something else to behold! Unlike the classic tater tots, this recipe uses quinoa and mushroom bits as the primary sources of proteins. Together with onion, chives, and red pepper flakes, they create a blockbuster of flavors and textures that are simply irresistible! These wonderful little packets of nutrition are a fun way to get your kids to eat healthier. They won't miss the 'tatoes and eggs at all. If they did, they would be too engrossed with munching on these goodies to mind.
There are only a few ingredients required to make these:
You can stick with the classics like ketchup, vegan mayonnaise, vegan sour cream, or BBQ sauce. Or you can break away from the norm and serve them with a Chunky Ranch-inspired dip, French Onion dip, or a Chipotle White Bean dip. If you are serving this as party food, surprise your guests with several dip options to choose from. I'm sure it'll be a hit!
