Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Begin by removing the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or a food processor until it resembles rice.
Place the grated cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy rosti.
In a large bowl, combine the dried cauliflower, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.
Shape the cauliflower mixture into four equal patties, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted and hot, carefully add the rosti patties to the skillet.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Once cooked, remove the rostis from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess butter.
Serve the low carb Swiss potato rosti warm, as a side dish or topped with accompaniments such as sour cream, smoked salmon, or poached eggs.
