Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam them until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, resembling rice.
Place the cauliflower rice in a clean tea towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a small ball. Flatten it slightly to form a disk, and use a straw or the end of a spoon to make the eyes and a curved tool to create the smile.
Place the smiley faces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
Allow to cool slightly before serving and enjoy your low-carb snack!
