Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups cauliflower
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Rinse the quinoa and add it to a medium-sized pot along. Add the water, stir briefly, and bring to a boil. Cover the pot with the lid and reduce to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and the “whitetail” appears on the grains. Transfer to a bowl, fluff it up with a spoon and allow it to cool (almost) completely.
- Cut the cauliflower into small pieces and steam until tender. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Once cool, cut it up into pea-sized pieces.
- As soon as the quinoa and cauliflower are cooled, add them to a medium-sized bowl. Add ALL of the remaining ingredients. Mix until thoroughly combined. Adjust any seasonings to taste.
- Using a small cookie scoop or large spoon, scoop the mix (approx. 3 tbsp worth) and press together to form a ball. Make sure to really compress your scoop.
- Transfer immediately to the baking trays, evenly spaced apart.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve warm with any dip, sauce, aioli, or queso! YUM!!!
Notes
- To make this vegan, replace the eggs with 3 tbsp of ground flaxseed – mix the ground flaxseed separately with 4 tbsp of water prior to adding to the mixture.
