Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups riced cauliflower (frozen or fresh)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the cauliflower thins.
  2. Microwave Cauliflower: Place the riced cauliflower into a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes to soften and partially cook it.
  3. Drain Cauliflower: Transfer the warmed cauliflower rice into the center of a clean dish towel or cheesecloth. Twist and squeeze firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for getting crispy thins.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Return the drained cauliflower to the large bowl. Add eggs, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, salt, pepper, and chopped chives. Mix thoroughly until well combined into a dough-like mixture.
  5. Form Thins: Using a large cookie scoop, spoon, or your hands, scoop the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet forming 6 equal circles. Press each circle down with your hands or the back of a measuring cup to flatten and shape the edges neatly.
  6. Bake and Flip: Bake the cauliflower thins in the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully flip each thin over and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the other side.
  7. Serve or Store: Enjoy the cauliflower thins warm right away with your favorite sauce or toppings. If saving for later, toast them in a toaster or skillet to re-crisp before serving.

Notes

  • Removing excess water from the cauliflower is key to achieving crispy thins.
  • You can substitute fresh riced cauliflower for frozen, but be sure to drain thoroughly.
  • These thins freeze well—store in an airtight container and reheat by toasting or in a skillet.
  • Top with avocado, tomato slices, or use as a base for mini sandwiches or appetizers.
