Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 eggs, beaten
• cooking spray
• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 4 solo black garlic bulbs
• 4 slices Swiss cheese, torn into 4 pieces each
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

Step 2

Drop cauliflower mixture onto the parchment paper using a large cookie scoop; flatten slightly with your fingers.

Step 3

Air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, flip using a spatula, and continue cooking until patties are set, about 1 minute more. Remove from the air fryer and top each patty with 1/4 slice of Swiss cheese. Return to the air fryer and cook until cheese is melted, 30 to 40 seconds more.

Step 4

Combine cauliflower and black garlic in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely "riced". Transfer to a bowl. Add flour, eggs, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, black pepper, basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Stir until well combined.
