Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, place the cauliflower rice. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until it is steaming and tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Once cooled, use a clean tea towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much excess moisture from the cauliflower as possible. This will help ensure the bread holds together and does not become soggy.
In the large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix well until combined.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Drizzle in the olive oil and fold in the chopped parsley, mixing until the mixture is homogenous.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf approximately 1-inch high and 6-inch by 4-inch in size.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as a tasty side or a low-carb base for your favorite toppings.
