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:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender. Once cooked, place them in a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture.
- In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
- 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.
- Shape the mixture into small patties or cutlets.
- Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the cauliflower cutlets until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 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.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
