Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing most of the stem but keeping the florets intact.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow even cooking.
Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower florets to help achieve crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the crispy cauliflower fry immediately while still warm, and enjoy as a snack or a side dish.
