Ingredients

• 1 medium head Raw cauliflower
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Sliced tomatoes
• 4 rings Red onion slices
• 0.5 cup Tahini sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until it resembles rice.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, almond flour, eggs, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the falafel patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to finish cooking through.

Step 7

While the falafel patties are baking, prepare the burger toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomatoes and onions.

Step 8

Once the patties are done, assemble the burgers: place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a falafel patty, add a slice of tomato, onion, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious keto falafel burger!
