Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over simmering water for about 10 minutes or until very tender.
Drain the cauliflower well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it achieves a rice-like consistency.
In a large bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a piece of parchment paper to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough.
Use a straw to poke two small eye holes in each circle and a spoon or knife to carve out a smile shape.
Place the smiley faces onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly smiley face potatoes!
