Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons (for frying)

Steps

1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
