Ingredients

The exact amounts of each ingredient are indicated in the recipe card at the end of the post.Toggle betweenUS Customary(volume) andMetric(weights) for preferred measurement option.

Here’s what you need:

(1)One medium head of cauliflower

Trim off the leaves and stem and the cut or break the cauliflower into small, popcorn size florets.

(2)3/4 cup (84 grams) of almond flour

The recipe works just as well with almond meal, so use what you have on hand or prefer.

You will also need some water. I am making the assumption that you have running water, so I’m not including that in the ingredients :). I am a bit of a salt fiend, so I like to add between 1/4 t0 1/2 teaspoon salt, but it is up to you how much, or if you want to add any at all. Go with our own personal tastes and dietary needs.

Step by Step Instructions

Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.

Step One: Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat the oven to 450F (225C).

You can place the cauliflower pieces on a rack on rack set inside of a baking sheet, as I’ve done in the photos below, but honestly…baking the cauliflower directly on the baking sheet yields the same result (I made and ate several batches just to be sure :)).

Be sure to lightly spritz the baking sheet or rack with nonstick spray beforehand.

Step Two: Whisk the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour with 2/3 cup (150 mL) water. If you are adding salt, start with 1/8 teaspoon; give the batter a taste and add more if you like (I like!).

You don’t need any oil in this recipe because the fat in the almonds provides the subtle crunch and crispiness at the edges once the cauliflower is baked.

Step Three: Coat the Cauliflower

Add half of the cauliflower at a time to the bowl. Use your hands to rub the batter evenly over the cauliflower pieces to coat.

Step Four: Bake

Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Step Five: Eat!

Put other chores aside and let the snacking begin!
