Keto snacks and finger food 😋
Cauliflower Popcorn 🍿
Servings: 5 / Time: 45 min
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower (leaves and stalk removed)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- Optional: 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475°F / 250°C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Break cauliflower into small florets.
- Whisk the eggs with a fork, and place them in one shallow bowl. In a second bowl, mix the almond flour, ground flax, garlic powder, parmesan, seasoning, and optional Italian herbs or spices.
- Dip each cauliflower floret in egg mixture, shake off the excess, then dip into the ‘breadcrumb’ mix. Do this in small batches of 3 – 4 florets at a time to prevent too much clumping.
- Place on the baking tray and repeat until all the cauliflower is used up. Drizzle with olive oil or generously spray.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until crisp, turning after 15 minutes, depending on how big you cut your florets. The smaller the florets, the less time it may take.
- Remove the cauliflower popcorn from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to crisp up.
