Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 4 slices pickle slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool slightly, then place in a food processor.
Add the almond flour, eggs, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to the food processor with the cauliflower.
Pulse the mixture until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Form the mixture into four even patties. If the mixture feels too sticky, wet your hands before shaping.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the patties to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
To assemble the burgers, place each patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with a slice of tomato and pickle slices.
Wrap the lettuce around the patty and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb falafel burgers!
