Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large pot of boiling water, add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let it cool.
- Once cooled, finely chop the cauliflower or pulse it in a food processor until finely crumbled. Make sure to remove excess moisture by placing it in a clean kitchen towel and squeezing out the water.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the tops of the patties with cooking spray or brush with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the patties are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the patties to cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
