Ingredients
- 1 small head Cauliflower

- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and rice them using a food processor until it resembles grain. You should have about 2 cups of cauliflower rice.
Grate the zucchini and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
Finely chop the spinach leaves and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, grated zucchini, chopped spinach, almond flour, and Parmesan cheese.
Add the egg to the mixture along with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should have approximately 16-20 balls.
Place the vegetable balls on the prepared baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these keto crispy vegetable balls as a healthy snack or as part of your meal.
