Vegetable Tots with Garlic and Herb Mayo

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 40 mins | Total: 70 mins | Quantity: 20 tots

Ingredients

Vegetable Tots:

  • 2 + 1/2 cups (360g) grated potatoes (grated weight)
  • 1 head broccoli – florets only
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 2 tblsp ground flax seeds
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 tblsp grated vegan parmesan
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain flour
  • good pinch each of salt and pepper
  • 2-3 tblsp olive oil

Garlic and Herb Mayo:

  • 4 tblsp vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic – peeled and crushed
  • 1 tblsp vegan pesto – or sub with several leaves of fresh basil
  • 1 tblsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grate potatoes by hand or with the grater attachment on a food processor. Tip onto a clean t-towel, fold the towel round the potato and squeeze out as much water as you can
  2. Put the broccoli and spinach into a food processor with the 'S' blade and whizz until very finely chopped
  3. Add the ground flax, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, pepper, vegan parmesan, flour and the grated potato. Whizz until everything is mixed together
  4. Preheat your oven to 200 Fan / 220 C / 425 F / Gas 7 and line a large baking tray with parchment or a silicon mat
  5. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and shape into a cylindrical log roughly 2 inches (5cm) in length and 1 inch (2.5cm) thick
  6. As you shape them lay them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing reasonably apart - this helps prevent them from steaming so the tots have nice crisp coats!
  7. Once they're all shaped brush each tot with a little olive oil then bake for 30 minutes
  8. After 30 minutes flip the vegetable tots and bake for another 10 minutes until crisp
  9. While the tots are baking make the dipping sauce by simply mixing all the garlic and herb mayo ingredients together. Add any salt and pepper to taste

Notes

  • These tots are also very good cold and can easily be used as leftovers - chill and store any extras in the fridge then reheat until piping hot in the middle
