Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Pork rinds (crushed)
Directions
Step 1
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower until it resembles the texture of mashed potatoes.
Step 3
Add the shredded cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed cauliflower. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into small cylinders, similar to croquettes, each about 2 inches long. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5
Roll each croquette in the crushed pork rinds to coat them lightly. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Fry the croquettes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious low-carb snack.
