Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets check Note 1
  • 1 cup mature cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F (190C). Grease mini muffin tins with oil.
  • Steam cauliflower florets on a saucepan using a steaming basket. This should take around 8-10 minutes.
  • Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it becomes like rice. When removing, squeeze to drain it. Squeeze out as much water as you can.
  • Now, add cauliflower to a bowl, add in cheddar cheese, egg, oregano, onion, garlic, and salt with pepper.
  • Mix until combined.
  • Scoop out some into each muffin tin and flatten the mixture out. We want to create nice flat bites.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Make sure the middle of the bites has hardened up too.
  • Let them cool down before serving. Have them with your favorite sauce!
