Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and lightly salt it. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towels.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble coarse crumbs.
Peel and grate the carrot. Finely chop the green bell pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, processed cauliflower, grated carrot, and chopped bell pepper.
Add the egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture, and mix until well incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the vegetable balls with olive oil to ensure an even, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Allow the vegetable balls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as an appetizer, snack, or as a side dish!
