Ingredients

• 2 cups cauliflower florets
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 4 large lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 4 slices pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then place in a food processor.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, eggs, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to the food processor with the cauliflower.

Step 4

Pulse the mixture until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.

Step 5

Form the mixture into four even patties. If the mixture feels too sticky, wet your hands before shaping.

Step 6

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

Step 9

To assemble the burgers, place each patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with a slice of tomato and pickle slices.

Step 10

Wrap the lettuce around the patty and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb falafel burgers!
