I’m wondering if you could use frozen cauliflower rice in these since that’s what I have on hand. Any thoughts?
Hi Heather, I haven’t personally tested that but I think it could work. I’d defrost the cauliflower first before blending with the other ingredients. Then wring out as much of the water as possible from the cauliflower. Let me know if you try and how it works.
Is the cauliflower parboiled or raw? Thanks!
It’s raw cauliflower florets!
Hey there! Do you think egg whites only would work for this?
Hi Shan, I haven’t personally tested it with only egg whites, but it should work fine! Let me know how they turn out!
These look so good! I’m curious if you’re using canned chickpeas or uncooked chickpeas? I like to cook the dry chickpeas instead of using the canned so not sure which ones are these. Please let me know! Super excited to try them!
Thanks Karishma! I’m using canned cooked chickpeas in this recipe. But you could cook the dry ones yourself if you prefer. Let me know if you give these a try!
