Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets and transfer them to a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover it with a microwave-safe lid or plate, and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Place the microwaved cauliflower rice onto a clean kitchen towel, let it cool slightly, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower rice, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Mix the ingredients together until well combined and it forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
Step 7
Lightly oil your hands with a bit of avocado oil to handle the mixture easily. Form small bite-sized balls or patties with the mixture.
Step 8
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining avocado oil.
Step 9
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cauliflower bites to the skillet and fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Transfer the fried bites to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 12
Serve as a delicious keto-friendly snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
