The weekend is coming and we're already thinking about informal dinners to enjoy with the family. So here are these cauliflower nuggets, a healthy alternative with only 25 calories.

They are as easy to make as authentic chicken, so we do not have to hesitate to use this recipe to cook with children. You just have to chop, mix and shape them. After a few minutes in the oven we will have ready a original and delicious vegetable-based appetizer.

In this recipe we have used the trick of grating cauliflower with the left turn. Thus the cauliflower is left with a texture like a grain of rice that allows us to prepare original recipes and healthy as salads.

Also, keep in mind that cauliflower is at its best when cold. Choose the heavy pieces, tight and without stains on the surface.

With these amounts you will have about 30 cauliflower nuggets which allows you to consume as many as you need and freeze the rest. Put them separately on a cookie sheet and freeze them for 2 hours. Then you can put them in hermetically sealed bags.

When reusing them, you can remove them one by one without sticking them, defrost them while you preheat the oven and bake them as if they were freshly made.

Ingredients

  • 4 gluten-free corn cakes
  • 50 g of Manchego cheese
  • 50 g of grated mozzarella cheese
  • 20 g parmesan
  • 600 g cauliflower
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon (dessert size) dried onion
  • Salt and white pepper
  • Spray oil

Preparation

  1. We preheat the oven to 190º with heat up and down. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and spray a little oil on top of each one.

  2. Cut the cauliflower into bunches and discard the fat stems. We let them drain while we prepare the rest of the ingredients.

  3. We chop the corn cakes into breadcrumbs. For this we program glass closed, turbo speed for 2 seconds. We check that they have the right texture and remove.

  4. We put the 3 types of cheese in the glass and grate them together for 5 seconds, speed 8. We withdraw and reserve.

  5. We put the cauliflower bouquets in the glass and chop them during 10 seconds, speed 5, left turn. We check that the cauliflower has been grated and that it is the size of a grain of rice.

  6. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix for 10 seconds, speed 5, left turn. We lower the mixture towards the blades and we mix other 10 seconds, speed 5, left turn.

  7. With a dessert spoon we take portions and we shape them into a nugget. We are placing them on the prepared trays.

  8. Once the dough is finished, we put the trays in the oven and let the nuggets cook for 15 minutes. Then we give them the return, we pulverize another little oil and we leave another 10 minutes or until they have a nice golden color.

  9. We remove and serve fresh from the oven.

      Hello, Martha:
      You can substitute it for breadcrumbs. Eye!! If they are for celiacs, it must be gluten-free.
      Kisses!

    Does the cauliflower have to be cooked previously?

      Hello Ana:

      No, the cauliflower is not cooked. It is simply cleaned and grated with Thermomix. Then it is cooked in the oven and it is delicious!

      Kisses!!

    I have doubts. If the oven has heat up and down, why do you have to turn them over?
    In total is it 15 minutes in the oven or half an hour?
    Thank you
