Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Cauliflower florets
- 60 g Almond flour
- 30 g Fresh parsley
- 30 g Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they form fine, rice-like granules. Transfer the riced cauliflower into a large mixing bowl.
Add almond flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper to the riced cauliflower.
Pulse fresh parsley and cilantro in the food processor until finely chopped (but not a paste).
Combine the herbs into the cauliflower mixture. Mix in the baking powder and two tablespoons of olive oil, stirring until all ingredients are well integrated.
With your hands, form the mixture into golf ball-sized rounds. Flatten them slightly into patties.
Arrange the falafel patties on the prepared baking sheet, placing them about an inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, then flip each patty carefully. Bake for an additional 13 minutes or until the falafels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the falafels rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before serving.
Serve warm with a side of your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or add them to a keto-friendly salad or wrap.
