About

Turn your cauliflower into a crunchy, baked finger food! This side dish or snack is a healthy pair to a meal or a salty satisfaction in your keto diet. At your discretion, you may wish to serve the baked cauliflower with ranch dressing, keto guacamole, or a keto cheese dip.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounce cauliflower, raw
  • 3 tablespoon heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic, powder
  • 1 ounce fried pork rinds

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Break cauliflower florets up into medium-sized chunks. Toss the florets in a mixing bowl with the cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toss continually until the cream is completely coating the cauliflower.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the pork rinds untils you have a fine, crumbly breading. Arrange the pork rind breading on a plate.
  3. One by one, shake excess cream off the cauliflower florets and press in the pork rinds. Roll the florets to pick up the breading and arrange on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. The florets do not have to be entirely coated in breading – maybe 50%-75% coated.
  4. Bake the tray for 30 minutes, gently flipping the breaded cauliflower over halfway through.
