Ingredients:

  • 1 medium-sized cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil for frying (avocado oil or olive oil works well)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender. Once cooked, place them in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a uniform dough forms.
  5. Shape the mixture into small patties or cutlets.
  6. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  7. Fry the cauliflower cutlets until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Place the fried cutlets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. This helps to ensure the cutlets are fully cooked and have a nice crisp texture.
  9. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
