Ingredients
- 200 grams Cauliflower rice
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 30 grams Fresh cilantro
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 50 grams Onion
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine cauliflower rice, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and onion. Pulse until finely minced.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add almond flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Mix the combined ingredients well with a spatula or your hands to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Step 5
Add the egg to the mixture and mix until fully integrated, forming a dough-like consistency.
Step 6
Using your hands, shape the mixture into balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. This should yield around 12 to 16 falafel balls.
Step 7
Place the falafel balls on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over them, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Step 8
Bake the falafel in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully turn each ball over and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 9
Remove the falafel from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a side of fresh salad, a keto-friendly dip, or inside lettuce wraps.
