A crispy cheesy coating around a soft and flavoursome filling. These Keto Cheesy Cauliflower Rice Balls are great as a side for many meals. Or you may want to make them for snacks to nibble on throughout the day.
A tasty pork rind and parmesan coating that wraps a cauliflower rice risotto. I enjoy making these as an accompaniment to mains like pork belly, steak or grilled chicken. There is no end to how you can match them with dishes.
You also have a choice in how to bake them, in the oven or in the air fryer.
To make them keto friendly a usual breadcrumb coating is replaced by a lovely pork rind crumb and parmesan mixture.
The reason you make a form of risotto as detailed in the recipe is so that the balls will stay formed before they cook and makes them not just maleable but also even more cheesy and tasty.
For the pork crumbs I use pork scratchings and then blend them until they are a fine crumb texture.
You can find packets of cook ready cauliflower rice these days but I find it does not take long to grate a full head of fresh cauliflower. Please note if you buy frozen ready cauliflower rice then dry it out for longer in the frying pan before adding to make the risotto filling.
If you want another great keto meal idea for cheesy cauliflower then why not try this Loaded Cauliflower Mash.
