Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely chopped cooked cauliflower 280g
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 45g
  • 1 large egg
  • 6 tablespoons flour 50g
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • zest grated from 1 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste I added 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Finely chop cooked cauliflower. Add to a large bowl with all the other ingredients. Stir with a spoon until all the ingredients are well-combined and the mixture is no more dry and starts to get sticky.
  2. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of frying oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of batter (or just 1 heaped tablespoon) for each fritter. Cook the fritters until golden on both sides.
  4. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels or a wire rack (they won't get soggy).
  5. Enjoy!

Notes

  • What to serve them with: they are pretty great on their own / plain yogurt / simple yogurt dip: 1/2 cup yogurt + 1/2 ts lemon juice + 1 clove garlic, pressed + 1 ts chopped herbs (such as thyme) / tzatziki / sunny-side-up eggs.
  • You can add less cheese (1/4 cup) if you like.
  • Calories = 1 fritter (1/8 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
