Falafel is a wonderful addition to your low-carb meal repertoire, and this version uses cauliflower and almonds to create a satisfying texture. With just 12.5 grams of carbs per serving, these cauliflower falafel patties are great for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prep. The combination of spices, fresh parsley, and garlic elevates this dish, making it a flavorful option that aligns with keto-friendly eating. Serve them hot for a comforting bite that supports your health journey.

Instructions

  1. Puree the cauliflower: chop up cauliflower florets with a knife, then add it to a food processor or blender and pulse until it’s blended but still has a grainy texture.
  2. Combine the pureed cauliflower and chopped almonds in a medium bowl. Add the remaining falafel ingredients and stir until mixed well.
  3. In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Meanwhile, form the mix into 8 three-inch patties that are about the thickness of a hockey puck.
  4. Fry them four at a time until browned on one side (about 4 minutes or so per side) and then flip and cook the other side.
  5. Move cooked falafel patties to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve hot.
