Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups finely riced cauliflower*
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Cooking oil
  • Sour cream and/or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until finely riced. Measure out 2 cups into a large bowl.
  • Add the almond flour, parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and stir until well combined. The mixture should easily stick together.
  • Scoop ¼ cup of the mixture into your hand, press together, and form a flat disc. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes (this helps ensure they stay together when flipping.)
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan completely.
  • Add it to the hot oil carefully. Cook until crispy and browned on one side, about 1-2 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and continue to cook until all 10 fritters are done.
  • Serve with sour cream and more chives!

Notes

  • If you are using frozen cauliflower rice, you will need to steam the rice as directed, then squeeze as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower.
  • The cooking time will vary based on the size, thickness, and moisture content of the fritters. You must watch carefully and remove the fritters from the skillet when they are golden brown on each side.
  • Because these are gluten-free, they are still fragile while warm and need to be carefully flipped in the pan and carefully removed from the pan as well. Once cooled, they’re much easier to handle.
  • Note I did not use fresh cheeses in this recipe. During testing, the cheese made everything fall apart no matter what, so I went with the dry parmesan cheese and it worked great!
