Keto Fried Cauliflower Falafel Bites
A low carb and Keto-friendly take on Falafel, made with riced cauliflower instead of chickpeas. These crispy and flavorful bites will make you forget all about the traditional version!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower Rice
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Parsley
- 1/4 cup Cilantro
- 1/4 cup Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Coriander
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- 1Place the 2 cups of Cauliflower Rice in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, steam the cauliflower rice until tender. Carefully press the tender cauliflower rice using a clean kitchen towel to remove as much excess water as possible. Let it cool slightly.
- 2In a medium bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice with 1/4 cup Almond Flour, 1/4 cup Parsley, 1/4 cup Cilantro, 1/4 cup Onion, 2 cloves Garlic, 1 tsp Cumin, 1 tsp Coriander, 1/2 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Pepper.
- 3Mix all the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until everything is well combined and forms a cohesive mixture.
- 4Roll the mixture into small balls or flatten them into small patties, about 1 inch in diameter.
- 5Heat 2 tbsp Olive Oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when it shimmers.
- 6Carefully place the falafel bites into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. You should hear a gentle sizzle as they cook.
- 7Remove the cooked falafel bites from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Let them cool for a minute before serving.
