Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Coconut oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with coconut oil spray.
Steam the cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles a rice-like texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
In a large bowl, mix the riced cauliflower, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the flax egg until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a flat surface lined with parchment paper. Press it out evenly to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use dino-shaped cookie cutters to cut out nugget shapes. Place the nuggets onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough scraps, re-form, and cut out more shapes until all the dough is used.
Lightly spray the nuggets with coconut oil spray for a crispier texture.
Bake the nuggets in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip them carefully and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as sugar-free ketchup or a vegan ranch dressing.
