Preparation
Making low carb cauliflower gnocchi
First, start by cooking the cauliflower rice until it becomes soft. Then drain the water. Then, puree the cauliflower rice with an immersion blender until it becomes a cauliflower puree. Place the cauliflower puree in a kitchen towel and squeeze out all the water. When you think all the water is out, give it one more squeeze. Usually, some moisture still comes out. Let it cool completely. Then, add the Steviala almond flour, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, arrowroot powder, and seasonings to the cauliflower puree. Knead this mixture into a smooth dough ball.
Dust your work surface with Steviala coconut flour and roll out the cauliflower dough into a thin log. Cut small pieces from it. For an attractive texture, run the balls along a fork. Then, fry the low carb cauliflower gnocchi in oil until they turn golden brown on both sides. Finally, serve the low carb cauliflower gnocchi with your favorite pasta sauce, such as tomato sauce or green pesto.
