This easy recipe for cauliflower fritters cooks up cauliflower into a crispy, cheesy delicious veggie side dish that the whole family will love! Get ready for them to ask for vegetable seconds.
So, one of the ways I get ideas for recipes is seeing what you, my wonderful readers, are currently loving on this here website. And currently you are loving my cheesy cauliflower casserole and my zucchini fritters recipes, and that made a recipe lightbulb idea go off in my head. It was saying, “exactly how long are you going to wait before you write a recipe for cauliflower fritters? Oh and by the way, make sure you add some cheese!”
Sometimes the recipe ideas in my head can be SO BOSSY. But it did make all kinds of sense, so I got me some cauliflower and some cheese and got to work, and voila! Easy, cheesy cauliflower fritters. Let’s make them!
As with the cheesy cauliflower casserole, you are going to chop the cauliflower into florets and cook it until it is tender, and then you are going to chop it up into little chunks. I like doing that in a few seconds in my handy dandy food processor, but you can do it with a plain old knife if you like.
Then just mix it up with some egg and flour and cheese and salt and fry them up until they are golden and delicious.
You will then experience that rare but beautiful experience when your supper companions ask you for seconds. Of vegetables.
Happy sigh!
