Ingredients
Patties
- 3 Cups cauliflower florets 1 small cauliflower or ½ of a large cauliflower
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. cumin
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. paprika
- 1/2 cup grated cheese cheddar is our favorite here
- 1 Tbsp. avocado oil divided (or whichever oil you prefer)
Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup tahini*
- 1 Tbsp. avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. water
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. cumin
Instructions
- Bring pot of water to a boil.
- Add cauliflower and boil for about 6-7 minutes until softened but not falling apart (time will depend on size for florets).
- Pour into strainer and drain.
- Chop cauliflower florets into smaller 1/8” sized pieces and then dump into a medium sized bowl.
- Add all other patty ingredients except oil and stir to mix well.
- Start heating half of the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat (add remaining oil as needed while cooking patties).
- Create 1/4” thick patties using about 2 Tbsp. of mixture per patty.
- Place patties into heated pan and cook for 6- 8 minutes per side.
- While patties cook, mix dressing by whisking together until thoroughly combined or mix in blender.
- Serve warm cauliflower patties with dipping sauce.
Notes
- *If your tahini is separated, stir well or if it's too hard, just make sure you get some of the oil and paste when you're measuring.
- Patties and sauce can be kept in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat patties in microwave or on a skillet prior to eating.
- If using for baby led weaning, skip the dipping sauce, chop the cauliflower smaller and make sure you boil until the florets are really soft, not just parboiled.
- For picky older kids, try using 3/4 cup cheese and serving with ketchup or ranch.
