These Basic Cauliflower Fritters are crispy and flavorful patties made from finely minced cauliflower mixed with eggs and flour, pan-fried to golden perfection. They make a delicious low-carb appetizer or side dish, perfect for serving with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 5 cups chopped cauliflower florets (about 1 lb.)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Avocado oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Process Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until finely minced, creating a rice-like texture.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Transfer the processed cauliflower into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until a paste-like mixture forms. If too soft or moist, add more flour gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
  3. Form Patties: Use an ice-cream scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture and shape into small patties about ⅓ inch thick. Adjust size according to preference.
  4. Fry Fritters: Heat a small amount of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  5. Serve: Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels if necessary. Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the cauliflower is finely minced to help the fritters hold together better.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour to prevent the patties from falling apart during frying.
  • Avocado oil is recommended for its high smoke point and healthy fats.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • These fritters can be reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
