Ingredients
Crispy Cauliflower-Carrot Fritters
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Smoky Garlic Aioli
- ¾ cup raw cashew pieces soaked for 4 to 8 hours
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup water + 2 tablespoons addditional
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Crispy Cauliflower-Carrot Fritters
- Combine the water, cauliflower, and carrots in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for 4 minutes, then drain well. Place the cauliflower and carrots on a few layers of paper towels and pat dry. Transfer to a cutting board and finely chop.
- Place the chopped veggies in a large bowl; add flour and stir to coat. Fold in the cheese, salt, pepper, green onions, and egg.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Put the fritter mixture into the skillet ¼ cup at a time, using a spatula to flatten each fritter into shape. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes, then carefully flip over and cook for about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil if needed.
Smoky Garlic Aioli
- Drain and rinse the cashews. Combine the cashews, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and ¼ cup of water in a blender and blend until smooth. If needed, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with the fritters.
Notes
- This recipe makes a little extra aioli. Use it on burgers and sandwiches or as a dip for veggies. It will last in the fridge for a few days.
