Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cauliflower florets
- 60 grams almond flour
- 50 grams grated parmesan cheese
- 100 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50 grams cream cheese, softened
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 120 ml coconut oil, for frying
Instructions
Start by steaming the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Ensure that there is as little moisture as possible by straining the cauliflower through a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, almond flour, grated parmesan, mozzarella, cream cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into small cylindrical croquettes about 2 inches long.
Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the croquettes in the pan in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croquettes from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm, either on their own or with a keto-friendly dipping sauce of your choice.
