Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 100 grams Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Pork rinds (crushed)
Instructions
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well and pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower until it resembles the texture of mashed potatoes.
Add the shredded cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed cauliflower. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Shape the mixture into small cylinders, similar to croquettes, each about 2 inches long. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roll each croquette in the crushed pork rinds to coat them lightly. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Fry the croquettes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious low-carb snack.
