Cauliflower Nachos with Cucumber Salsa
4.7
1 hr 15 mins
Ingredients:
For the nachos
2 medium cauliflowers, trimmed and roughly chopped
40g wholemeal plain flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
2 free-range eggs, beaten
40g cheddar cheese, grated
For the salsa:
1/2 cucumber, deseeded and finely diced
4 salad tomatoes, finely diced
1/2 avocado, finely diced
A few of sprigs of coriander, leaves chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Blitz the cauliflower in a food processor or grate until very finely chopped with a rice-like texture.
- Heat a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the cauliflower and dry-fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool.
- Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper. Add the flour, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic granules and eggs to the cauliflower and stir to combine.
- Form the mixture into a ball with your hands, then divide it in half.
- Place one half on a lined baking sheet and press down to make roughly an 18cm-wide circle. Repeat with the other half.
- Bake both for 25-30 minutes until golden. Use a palette knife to flip over the circles and cook for 5-10 minutes until golden on both sides.
- Remove both halves from the oven. Cut into triangular nacho shapes while still warm, then sprinkle with the cheese and leave to cool.
- Combine the ingredients for the salsa, then serve with the cauliflower nachos.
