Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets and steam them until they are very tender, about 10 minutes.
Once tender, transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Allow the mash to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the egg mixture to the cooled mashed cauliflower along with the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the cauliflower mixture into small croquettes, about the size of a golf ball, and gently flatten them slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the croquettes in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown and crispy on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the cooked croquettes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm as a delicious low-carb snack or side dish, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
