Ingredients

  • 2 bags 12 oz each Frozen Cauliflower Rice
  • 1/2 C 56g Shredded Cheddar
  • 1/2 C 56g Shredded Parmesan
  • 2 oz Pork Rinds finely crushed
  • 1 Tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp Chili Powder

  • 2 large Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Microwave both bags of cauliflower rice for 5 minutes or until the bags are lukewarm to the touch. Cut the corners and squeeze the bags to drain an excess water. Transfer to a paper towel or kitchen cloth and pat dry before adding to a large bowl.
