  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup almond flour about 60g
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour about 19g
  • 60 grams kale chopped (about 4 cups loosely packed)

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients into a food processor. Process until a dough is formed.
  • Roll dough into 10 pieces (about 2 tablespoons each) to form into balls or patties. Then place into lightly oiled air fryer basket or lined cookie sheet. Air fry at 370°F for 18-20 minutes or bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 18-20 minutes until golden.

Notes

If more fat is desired, the dough balls can be deep fried which is the traditional method of cooking them.
A head of cauliflower or a bunch of broccoli can be used in place of the kale.
