Ingredients
  

Fritters
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour for low-carb
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley optional
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • oil for frying

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Steam or boil cauliflower florets until tender, about 8–10 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Mash cauliflower or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
  3. Mix cauliflower with eggs, flour, baking powder, garlic, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Spoon batter into skillet and flatten into fritters. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Notes
