Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into florets
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but delicious)
2 green onions, finely sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp paprika or cumin (for extra flavor)
Olive oil or neutral oil, for frying
Instructions
Steam the Cauliflower
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until fork-tender (about 6–8 minutes). Drain well and let cool slightly.
Mash and Mix
In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower with a fork or potato masher. You want a chunky mash — not too smooth. Add the eggs, flour, Parmesan, green onions, garlic, spices, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the Fritters
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture and shape into small patties or fritters. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour to bind.
Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the fritters in batches, about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with a dipping sauce like sour cream, garlic aioli, or Greek yogurt with herbs. Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness!
Tips & Variations
Make it vegan: Use flax eggs and skip the Parmesan.
Add herbs: Try chopped parsley, dill, or cilantro for freshness.
Spice it up: Add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mix.
Air-fryer option: Spray with oil and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
