Cauliflower Crackers Recipes

LOW CARB CAULIFLOWER CRACKERS

Steps:

• Wash, clean, and cut the cauliflower into chunks, Place in a steamer basket in a large pot with 1-2 inches of water. Cover with a lid, bring the ,water to a boil and steam for 3-5 minutes.
• Cool the cauliflower, then chop in a food processor to small even pieces. Place the cauliflower in a cheese cloth or flour sack towel and squeeze out most of the liquid.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Roll out the mixture between 2 sheets of parchment paper, to 1/8 - 1/4inch thick, forming it into a large rectangle.
• Remove the top sheet of parchment. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned, cover with another baking sheet and flip the pan over. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the oven.
• Cut into crackers with a knife or pizza cutter. Place the crackers back in the oven, and allow them to slowly cool and dry until the oven is just barely warm and the chips are crisp, 1-2 hours.

SPICY RANCH CAULIFLOWER CRACKERS

Steps:

• Place riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cheesecloth-lined strainer and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Squeeze moisture out of the cooled riced cauliflower.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine riced cauliflower, egg, ranch mix, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix well. Stir in Parmesan cheese until incorporated.
• Drop mixture with a small cookie scoop onto the prepared cookie sheet and flatten with a small hand rolling pin, a cup, or your hand to approximately 1/16-inch thickness. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cracker.
• Bake crackers in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flip, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

CAULIFLOWER GRATIN RECIPE WITH BUTTERY RITZ TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F. Spray the inside of a 1.5-quart casserole dish with olive oil spray.
• Cook the cauliflower florets in boiling water for 3 minutes, and then drain well.
• Whisk together the cream cheese, milk, Frank's RedHot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and black pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the sauce is smooth, whisk in the shredded cheese a handful at a time until the sauce is smooth.
• Add the Ritz crackers to a zip-top plastic bag and crush. Add the thyme, black pepper, and butter, seal the bag, and shake it around to mix.
• Stir together the cauliflower and cheese sauce. Pour it into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly on top.
• Bake until the casserole is bubbling outside and the topping is golden, about 15 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallow and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower rice and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Transfer the cauliflower rice mixture to a bowl along with the cream cheese, cheddar, Parmesan and Worcestershire sauce. Beat with a mixer until smooth, then cover and chill until firm.
• Roll the cheese mixture into a ball, then roll in toasted almonds, pressing gently to coat. Serve with crudites and crackers.

CAULIFLOWER CRACKERS

Steps:

• Place cauliflower florets in food processor and pulse until 'riced' or it looks like cauliflower snow.
• Place cauliflower rice/snow in a bowl, cover with a plate, and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes until thoroughly steamed. Remove plate, spread in double-cheesecloth or flour sack-lined colander (spreading it out helps it to cool faster). Let it cool thoroughly, 10-15 minutes. Do other things during this time-like think about all the fantastic things you're going to put on your crackers!
• Once thoroughly cooled, gather up the cloth ends, twist to form a cauliflower ball, and squeeze as much liquid out as you can. Repeat until the cauliflower does not release any more liquid (5-6 good squeezes). Unravel your cloth over a bowl to make sure all of the cauliflower snow makes it into the bowl.
• Add your spices to the dry cauliflower rice/snow/pulp. I chose to use garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika but the sky is really the limit. Rosemary, parsley, fennel, or red pepper would work. Trying out some spice mixes would be great too-like Moroccan, Southwestern, or Greek. Mmmmmm-Greek spices and Tzatziki sauce for the dip-yes, please!

• Add the 3 beaten eggs and the 2 cups of your choice of cheese (firmer cheeses like cheddar, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, etc. work best). Add pepper to taste. Salt is not necessary due to the salt in the cheese. Mix well-I won't lie, hands work best for this!
• cauliflower cracker.
• Now spread the 'dough' very thinly on your parchment-lined cookie sheets. The thinner the better-mine was probably between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.
• cauliflower cracker.
• Bake until beginning to brown on edges, about 10-12 minutes. Cut your sheet of cauliflower crackers-to-be into cracker-sized strips using a pizza cutter (you can also make round flats of dough and then cut into triangles for pita-type chips). Flip the strips and cook another 5-10 minutes until the underside begins to brown. Remove from oven.
• After cooling enough to handle, transfer to a dehydrator set to 135 degrees (fruit/vegetable setting) and dehydrate for about 8 hours or until crisp. Other recipes indicated you may let the chips sit in a cool oven overnight instead of using a dehydrator, but I have not tried that method (I will next time and post an update).

• After fully dry and cool, store in a ziploc bag with the top open (to avoid moisture build-up). Better yet, try using silica gel desiccant packs to keep the moisture off. They work wonders for dehydrated foods stored in containers.
• Enjoy with spreads, dips, soups, or plain! They're super satisfying with a big ol' cup of Creamy Turnip Soup (recipe here) laced with a bit of walnut oil. Seriously. I had 2 bowls just so I could keep dipping the crackers into it!

JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, and pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup margarine and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Shape dough into a log, and cut into 10 equal sections. Roll each section into a six inch circle (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Set aside.
• Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft and translucent. Stir in ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is evenly brown, stirring constantly. Stir in beef broth and bread crumbs. Simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
• Spoon equal amounts of filling into each pastry circle. Fold over and press edges together, making a half circle. Use a fork to press edges, and brush the top of each patty with beaten egg.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
