Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower (or 3 cups riced cauliflower)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or any low-carb cheese you prefer)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (for binding)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (for frying)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower:
    If using a fresh cauliflower head, chop it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency (or use pre-riced cauliflower). Steam the riced cauliflower until tender (about 5-7 minutes), then drain it well. Use a clean towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out excess water. This step is important to avoid soggy fritters.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, shredded cheese, almond flour, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully incorporated and the mixture forms a thick batter.
  3. Form the Fritters:
    Scoop out about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into small patties (as seen in the image). Make sure they’re compact and evenly shaped to ensure they cook well.
  4. Fry the Fritters:
    Heat butter or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve:
    Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dip, such as sour cream or an avocado-based dip.

Optional Add-ins:

  • Herbs: Add parsley or cilantro for extra freshness.
  • Spice: Add a pinch of chili flakes or paprika for heat.
