1. Begin by trimming the leaves and the stem of the cauliflower. Cut it into quarters to easily access the core, which should be removed.
2. Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, grate the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces.
3. Place the grated cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieve a crispy rosti.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and beaten eggs.
5. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
6. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add half of the cauliflower mixture to the skillet.
7. Use a spatula to press down the mixture into a flat, even layer and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
8. Carefully flip the rosti using a large plate or by flipping it directly in the skillet, then cook the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes.
9. Transfer the cooked rosti to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining butter and cauliflower mixture.
10. Once both rostis are cooked, garnish them with freshly chopped chives before serving.
11. Serve warm as a delightful keto-friendly breakfast or side dish.
