These cauliflower balls are equally good made dairy or pareve. They’re the kind of dish where you taste one, come back to have just one more, and just one more… and then they’re gone! The almond flour allows them to maintain a soft interior with a crispy exterior. I purposely didn’t sauté the onion to save a step. It softens while baking, and the flavor is amazing even without sautéing. Yields approximately 24 balls
olive oil, for drizzling
1 and 1/2 pounds (680 grams) Beleaves Frozen Cauliflower
1 small onion, finely diced
1 egg
2 cubes Gefen Frozen Parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, to taste (be generous)
pepper, to taste (be generous)
1–2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon paprika, preferred in oil
a few drops hot sauce (optional)
3/4 cup Gefen Almond Flour
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil.
Place a little water in a large pot. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, add cauliflower, and cook for 10 minutes, or until tender.
Drain well and rinse with cold water. Mash with a potato masher until fine, but not mushy. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add onion, egg, parsley, olive oil, seasonings, and hot sauce if using. Mix together. Add almond flour and Parmesan cheese, if using, and mix gently until well combined.
Shape into small balls, using about two tablespoons per ball. Place the balls on the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, drizzle with olive oil, and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

I made them! I made 4x the recipe for an upcoming family event, and since the yield was high, I decided to snack on some. We have someone who cannot have hot sauce, so I omitted it, but I added a little extra black pepper and it has a mild bite.) They are delicious as other commenters suggested, but they are also filling! I did not roll them in to balls, I just dropped them on the cookie sheet like any other dough. They are so good, and I definitely plan to make them again. AND share the recipe with others. Thank you, Brynie!
Have you had success freezing these? It looks amazing!
You should be able to freeze them!
Amazing. I omitted the cheese for a parve version and it was super delish.
