Instructions
- 1Clean the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Blend it in a food processor to a rice-like texture (do not turn it into a puree!).
- 2Steam the ground cauliflower or quickly sauté it in a pan (without oil) for 5 minutes to evaporate excess moisture. Then wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove all the water. This is essential so the nuggets don't fall apart.
- 3In a larger bowl, mix the squeezed cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan, almond flour, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the ingredients bind together.
- 4Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- 5Using your hands, shape small patties (nuggets). If desired, lightly coat them in breadcrumbs or cornmeal for extra crunch.
- 6Place the nuggets on the baking sheet and drizzle them lightly with olive oil. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown. Carefully flip them halfway through the baking time.
