Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble the texture of rice.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower 'rice', eggs, nutritional yeast, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, then brush the tops of each rice cake with the melted coconut oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet to firm up further.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving.
