Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or cooking spray)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Chop the cauliflower into small florets. Steam or microwave the cauliflower for about 10 minutes until tender.
Step 3
Once cooked, allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then place the florets in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
Transfer the drained cauliflower to a food processor, pulse until it resembles rice.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, egg, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 6
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll into balls. Flatten each ball slightly to form a patty.
Step 7
Use a straw or a small round object to create eyes, and a knife to carve a smile on each patty.
Step 8
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each patty for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 9
Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to help them crisp up further.
Step 11
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb smiley face potatoes!
