Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Raw cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Sliced tomatoes
- 4 rings Red onion slices
- 0.5 cup Tahini sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until it resembles rice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, almond flour, eggs, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the falafel patties and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the patties to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to finish cooking through.
While the falafel patties are baking, prepare the burger toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomatoes and onions.
Once the patties are done, assemble the burgers: place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a falafel patty, add a slice of tomato, onion, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious keto falafel burger!
