Ingredients:
- 3 cups chopped raw florets cauliflower (321g)
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large egg
- 1 ounce pork rinds
- 5 grams olive oil cooking spray
Directions:
- In a large pot over high heat, bring about 6 cups water to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain until cool enough to handle, then use a clean kitchen towel and squeeze as much water out for the cauliflower as possible.
- In a food processor, chop the cauliflower until almost pureed. Add the cream cheese in chunks, ½ of the chives, garlic powder and salt and pepper and process until smooth and well combined. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat air fryer to 390°.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Place crushed pork rinds in another bowl. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the cooled mashed cauliflower and roll with hands into a ball. Evenly coat in egg, then roll in the pork rinds to coat and place on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the mashed cauliflower has been used to create coated 9 balls. Spray the balls with olive oil cooking spray, and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the outsides are browned and crispy and the cheese is melted. Serve warm. One patty is one serving.
