Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cauliflower:
  • o Heat a pot of water with salt until it reaches a rolling boil.
  • o Add the chopped cauliflower florets and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
  • o Drain the cauliflower and place it on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Allow it to cool slightly.
  • Make the Fritter Batter:
  • o Once the cauliflower has cooled, chop it finely or lightly mash it with a fork or potato masher, leaving some small chunks for texture.
  • o In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
  • o Add the chopped cauliflower, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. The batter should be thick but not too stiff; add a little more flour if needed.
  • Fry the Fritters:
  • o Heat about 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • o Drop spoonfuls of the cauliflower batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form small patties.
  • o Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain and Serve:
  • o Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • o Serve the cauliflower fritters warm, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, tzatziki, or a spicy mayo.
