INSTRUCTIONS

1 For the Dip, mix all ingredients in small bowl until well blended. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2 For the Tots, preheat oven to 425°F. Place asparagus and carrots in food processor; cover. Process until coarsely chopped. Add cauliflower; cover. Process again until coarsely chopped. Add 1/4 cup of the panko and remaining ingredients; cover and pulse until well blended. Squeeze veggie mixture dry in a large piece of cheesecloth.
3 Shape the veggie mixture, one tablespoonful at a time, into balls then form into a “tot” shape. If the veggie tots do not hold their shape, refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes. Roll tots in remaining 1 cup panko to coat. Place on baking sheet sprayed with no stick cooking spray.
4 Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning once. Serve veggie tots with Yogurt Ranch Dip.
