Ingredients
- 400 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 250 ml Coconut oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets for about 10 minutes or until they are tender. Drain off any excess moisture thoroughly.
Step 2
Transfer the steamed cauliflower into a large bowl and mash it thoroughly until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper to the mashed cauliflower.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients together until you form a well-combined mixture that holds together.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and set aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Heat coconut oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium heat until it reaches around 180°C (355°F).
Step 7
Carefully lower a few cauliflower balls into the hot oil using a slotted spoon, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the balls for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the balls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with any remaining cauliflower balls, maintaining the oil temperature as needed.
Step 11
Serve the crispy fried cauliflower balls hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
