Basic Cauliflower Fritters

Total Time: 25 mins
Serves: 4


Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour alternative (e.g., tapioca starch or chickpea flour)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cauliflower florets for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Mash the cauliflower with a fork or potato masher until it reaches a coarse, crumbly texture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, eggs, gluten-free flour alternative, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a batter.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Scoop 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  6. Place the fritters in the hot skillet, pressing them gently to flatten. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
