Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam them until tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the cauliflower and place it in a food processor. Pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the processed cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Using your hands, take a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Gently place the cauliflower balls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the crispy cauliflower balls warm as an appetizer or a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
