Creamy Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Bites: A Delightfully Cheesy Keto-Friendly Appetizer

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium heads of cauliflower (approx. 8-10 cups of florets)
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups of panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup of grated parmesan
• 3 tablespoons of minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon of dried basil
• 1/2 cup of melted butter
• 1/4 cup of almond flour
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream or unsweetened milk
• 1/2 cup of fresh parmesan
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, then wash and drain them well. Place them on a kitchen towel to partially dry, or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, two whisk-beaten eggs, panko, grated parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
4. Dredge each cauliflower piece into the flour mixture, ensuring each one is fully coated.
5. In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour and melted butter. Dip each flour-coated cauliflower piece into this mixture.
6. Place the cauliflower bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream or unsweetened milk and fresh parmesan.
8. Pour the creamy parmesan mix over the cauliflower on the baking sheet.
9. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the cauliflower bites.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway through cooking time.

Results:

Delightfully cheesy keto-friendly Cauliflower Bites that serve as a satisfying appetizer for everyone to enjoy!

Note: Adjust cooking times as necessary based on the size and texture of the cauliflower florets. For larger pieces, you may need to bake 4-5 minutes more.
