Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

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 process them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Let the cauliflower cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon scoop, form the mixture into small bite-sized rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the rice bites with olive oil to help them crisp up.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a delicious, low carb, crispy snack.
