What You’ll Need
Servings: 5 servings
Calories: 90kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower grated or riced
- 1 cup shredded Irish cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Prepare the cauliflower: Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or process it in a food processor until it resembles rice. Transfer the riced cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Make the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated cauliflower, shredded Irish cheddar, beaten egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the bites: Using your hands or a spoon, form the cauliflower mixture into small bite-sized patties or balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Bake: Bake the cauliflower bites in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with a dipping sauce like keto- friendly ranch or marinara.
