[2 Servings: 1 Fueling, 1 Lean, 2 Green, 1 Condiment]

2 Packets Optavia™ Buttermilk Cheddar Herb Biscuit, prepped (2 Fueling)
----------------------

1-1/2 cup steamed cauliflower (3 Green)

1 cup cubed Jicama (2 Green)

1 large egg (1/3 Lean)

1/2 cup diced scallions (1 Green)

3 ounces reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 Lean)

1 teaspoon garlic minced (1 Condiment)

-----------------------

1 egg white, whisked (for dredging)-1/3 Lean

2 Tablespoons reduced-fat parmesan cheese (1 Condiment) *optional

Directions

*Prep  Buttermilk Cheddar Herb Biscuits:

~In a small bowl combine fueling packets and 6 Tablespoons water and 1 wedge Light laughing Cow cheese (1 Condiment) Pour evenly into 2 muffin liners.

~For those with the Power Air Oven (I have the Elite style) Place the muffin liners on the crisper tray. Press the baking button and decrease time to 10 minutes. *For those with other types, Set your Air Fryer per instructions for your machine for 360 degrees F baking modes. **You can bake the biscuits in the microwave instead for 60-70 seconds each. 
~Let Biscuits Cool slightly.

~Pulse baked biscuits in a food processor to make crumbs.

For Veggie Tots:

~Steam Jicama and cauliflower until tender. Pulse in Food processor. Place in cheesecloth and squeeze all extra water.

~In a large mixing bowl, mash veggies with a potato mashers to smash but do not want it to be like a paste. then place into food processor (*No need to clean after pulsing crumbs) along with remaining ingredients PLUS half of the biscuit crumbs. (*Reserve the other half for breading). 

~Scoop mixture and place on a parchment paper lined tray using a Tablespoon. Form mixture into tot shape. Freeze for one hour (This helps hold its form so it can be breaded.) 

~Dip the tot into the egg white, then into the bread crumb mixture.

~Gently place the tots into the air fryer basket not touching each other (be sure to spray basket with non-stick cooking spray). You may not be able to put all the tots into the air fryer at the same time. (Depends on the size of the air fryer)

~Preheat the air fryer according to directions. Cook the tots on 400 degrees for 10 minutes, turn them over as best as possible and cook another 8-10 minutes.
