Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
Add the almond flour, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a ball, then flatten it into a patty or cake shape. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Brush the tops of each rice cake with a little olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice cakes are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or as a side to your favorite low carb main dish.
