Ingredients
Scale
- 500g cauliflower
- 1 egg
- 50g grated Parmesan cheese
- 50g cream cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons almond flour or coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional)
Instructions
- Divide the cauliflower into small florets and steam or boil for about 10 minutes until soft. It should be easily mashable with a fork.
- Drain the cooked cauliflower well to remove excess moisture. This is important to prevent the patties from becoming too wet and falling apart while frying.
- In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower with a fork or potato masher until no large pieces remain.
- Add the egg, grated Parmesan, and cream cheese. Mix well until a uniform mixture forms.
- Now stir in the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mixture forms. The mixture should not be too liquid; add more almond flour if needed.
- Using your hands, form small portions of the mixture, about the size of a table tennis ball. Ensure they are evenly shaped for even cooking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Let the finished patties drain on paper towels and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
- Serve the patties hot, as a main dish or snack, and enjoy their savory flavor!
