🥦 Ingredients
For the Keto Garlic Bread
1 large cauliflower head
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup almond flour
2 large eggs
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Butter Topping
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Salt to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Cauliflower
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles fine rice. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes to soften. Allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is essential—removing excess water ensures your bread becomes firm and sliceable rather than soft or soggy.
2. Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, almond flour, eggs, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined and a thick dough-like mixture forms.
3. Shape and Bake
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a rectangular or oval shape about ¼ inch thick, smoothing the top evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the surface is firm and lightly golden around the edges.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter
While the bread bakes, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown). Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley and a pinch of salt.
5. Finish Baking
Remove the bread from the oven and brush the garlic butter evenly over the surface. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, allowing the butter to soak in and the edges to crisp slightly.
6. Slice and Serve
Let the bread cool for 5–10 minutes to firm up, then slice into sticks or squares. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
