These cauliflower fritters are crispy, slightly cheesy, and a great alternative to french fries, hash browns, or tater tots. We actually enjoy it as a side to meatloaf in place of mashed potatoes. Our favorite topping is a dollop of sour cream but it’s great with ketchup too!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups riced cauliflower (thawed if frozen)
  • ⅓ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp scallions, minced
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Mix cauliflower, Monterey jack cheese, garlic, scallions, dried parsley, and eggs until well combined.
  3. Add flour, salt, and black pepper to the mixture until well blended.
  4. Drop 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of mixture onto parchment paper, flatten and pat down with the back of the spoon while forming an oval shape.
  5. Lightly brush olive oil on the tops of each fritter and bake for 15 minutes (halfway through).
  6. After the first 15 minutes, take the pan out of the oven, flip each fritter over, and lightly brush on more olive oil on the new side.
  7. Bake for another 15 minutes or until golden and crispy edges.
