Servings: 8 rolls
Calories: 43kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower riced (about 3 ½ cups)
- 1 small yellow onion super small dice
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup + 1 Tablespoon Almond meal fine ground*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 and line a heavy baking tray with unbleached parchment paper
- Cut the end off cauliflower, cut through the core and then break into smaller pieces. Place ⅓ off the cauliflower pieces into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the "S" blade and pulse until cauliflower is uniformly in small pieces resembling quinoa. Continue in batches until all cauliflower is "riced."
- Transfer cauli-rice to a large bowl and mix in salt, pepper, paprika and 1 Tablespoon of onions.
- Beat the eggs until frothy and add to mixture. Mix well. Then add in ¼ cup of the almond meal to soak up the moisture from the eggs. Add another Tablespoon almond flour if batter is oozing liquid.
- Form mixture into 8 evenly sized balls. Push each “roll” down gently with the back of a fork. Sprinkle with remaining onions and additional coarse sea salt if desired*
- Bake for 30 minutes. If rolls are a bit thicker (better for sandwiches), they may need 35 minutes to cook all the way through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
It's important to "rice" the cauliflower into super small pieces. The finer consistency will produce more of a roll type texture. Already riced cauliflower---either fresh or frozen---doesn't work as well in this recipe as it is larger in size.
Store extra rolls in the fridge. Bring to room temp or gently heat in 300 degree oven for 10 minutes before serving. Alternately, slice and toast or place in the oven to broil for 3 minutes before making sandwiches.
