Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready when needed.
  2. Prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting it into manageable florets.
  3. Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, approximately 10-12 minutes, or boil them until fork-tender. The steaming method is preferred as it helps retain more nutrients.
  4. Once tender, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Be cautious not to over-process.
  5. To remove excess moisture, transfer the riced cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  7. Form the mixture into small patties, ensuring they are compacted to hold their shape during cooking.
  8. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the cauliflower patties into the skillet, working in batches if necessary.
  9. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden brown crust and are crisp on the edges.
  10. Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower cutlets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the preheated oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. This step ensures they are thoroughly cooked and heated through.
  11. Serve the cauliflower cutlets hot, garnished with fresh herbs or accompanied by your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
