What You Need to Make Keto Cauliflower Bites

• 1 Head of cauliflower cut into florets
• Olive oil and/or coconut oil for frying (optional)
• 1 c Crushed pork rind crumbs
• ¼ c Grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ tsp Thyme
• ½ tsp Basil
• ½ tsp Garlic powder
• 2 Beaten eggs
• ½ c Almond flour
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Keto Cauliflower Bites

Step 1:

If you plan to fry your cauliflower bites, place a high sided pot or skillet on the stove over medium-high heat, and begin to heat up some olive oil and/or coconut oil (we used a mixture of the two). If you are alternatively using the oven to bake your bites, or an air fryer, start heating them up now.

Step 2:

Place the crushed pork rind crumbs into a bowl, and mix in ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 3:

In another shallow bowl, combine the beaten eggs, thyme, garlic powder and basil.

Step 4:

In a third bowl, place the almond flour.

Step 5:

Dip the cauliflower florets first in the almond flour, then into the egg mixture and finally into the pork rind crumb mixture. Once they have been coated well, place them aside on a plate.

Step 6:

Using tongs, place 5-6 pieces of coated cauliflower into the heated oil to cook. Turn after a few minutes so that both sides can cook evenly. Remove when the cauliflower bites are golden brown. Be sure not to have your oil temperature too high, or the outside will burn while the inside will remain uncooked.

Step 7:

Remove the cooked bites from the oil, and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool.

Optional

If you are using an air fryer or the oven, cooking times will vary. Cook until the cauliflower bites are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
