Herbed Cauliflower Fritters

Crispy fritters made from grated cauliflower, egg, and almond flour, seasoned with fresh herbs; perfect as a side dish or a light meal.

Ingredients

grated (or processed) cauliflower, well-drained

eggs

almond flour

chopped chives and parsley

olive oil or butter for cooking

salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Grate the cauliflower or process it into a fine pulp; squeeze firmly in a clean kitchen towel to extract as much moisture as possible (this is crucial for crispy fritters).
2. In a large bowl, mix the drained cauliflower with the eggs, almond flour, herbs, salt, and pepper until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
3. Form fritters about 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter with damp hands.
4. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the fritters for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and firm; cook in batches if necessary.
5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, accompanied by a Greek yogurt herb dip or a green salad.

Variants

• Add parmesan shavings for more flavor or spices like cumin for an oriental twist.

Tips

• Squeeze the grated cauliflower well: excess water prevents a crispy crust from forming.
• Cook over medium heat to achieve color without burning the outside.
