We get it, steamed cauliflower isn’t always going to get you running to the dinner table and that’s exactly why we have created these delicious, low carbohydrate Cauliflower Bites with Chilli Avocado Smash.
Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, what’s not to love?
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- ½ head cauliflower
- 1 egg, free range
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour
- ¼ cup almond meal

Chilli Avocado Smash

- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes, optional

Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

I’ve left this comment a few times. It would be great if you had a PRINT option on the recipes. 🙂
I was reading this and it sounds so delicious Looking forward to making these certainly a healthier variation to an Arancini Italian Rice Balls !
I was thinking maybe giving a nutty sensation rolling them in to Sesame seeds .Prior to baking and using the LSA mixture Linseed Almond Meal and Sunflower instead Of
Almond Meal on its own ! –
This would make a delicious Vegetarian dish Thanks ! Lee / CreativeLee
That sounds like a great idea Lee – you’ll have to let us know how it goes!
