Healthy Cauliflower Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until just fork tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transfer the cauliflower to a cutting board. Chop into very small pieces (about the size of peas or smaller) with a sharp knife.
• Measure 4 cups of the chopped cauliflower and place in a large bowl. (Reserve the rest for another use, such as cauliflower tots or mashed cauliflower.) Add the flour, eggs, garlic, 3 tablespoons scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir until well combined.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with olive oil. Working in batches, scoop 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the cauliflower mixture into the pan, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Flatten each mound slightly with a spatula and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fritters once and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the fritters to the prepared plate. Serve warm, topped with yogurt or sour cream. Garnish with scallions.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes; drain and break cauliflower into small pieces. Combine cauliflower, bacon, and green onions together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sift flour into a bowl. Whisk milk, egg, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt into the flour until smooth. Add milk mixture to cauliflower mixture and stir until batter is evenly combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Process cauliflower in a food processor finely minced; transfer to a large bowl.
• Stir flour, eggs, baking powder, and Italian dressing mix into cauliflower.
• Heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a frying pan over medium heat.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of cauliflower mixture into the hot oil; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons canola oil, coriander seeds, and red pepper flakes. Stir to blend. Whisk in the beer. Set aside in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes. It will puff up slightly, like bread dough.
• Gather the cauliflower in a medium-size bowl and use a small strainer to sprinkle it with an even layer of the paprika. Toss to blend.
• In a large pot, heat the remaining 6 cups oil to 375 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place the florets on the tray as they come out of the oil.
• Stir the batter slightly. To test the consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil, put a couple of pieces of cauliflower on a slotted spoon and submerge them in the batter. It should coat the pieces lightly. Cook's Note: If the batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If the batter is too thin, sift and whisk in a little more flour.
• Drain the excess batter and lower the cauliflower into the oil. It should bubble slightly and the cauliflower should gradually rise to the top. Fry until light brown, about 3 to 5 minutes and then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Fry the cauliflower in small batches. Season with salt, sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately.
