Mash the cauliflower: Once cooled, use a fork or potato masher to mash the cauliflower. You want it to have a consistency similar to mashed potatoes, but not too mushy.
Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, shredded cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Form the bites: Use your hands to shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Spray the tops of the cauliflower bites with a bit of olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve: Once done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy them as a snack or serve them with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
Enjoy your cheesy, crunchy cauliflower bites!
