Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor, pulse the cooked cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, forming a dough-like consistency.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the balls to help them crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious low-carb appetizer or side dish.
