Cauliflower Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 head raw cauliflower, grated (or chopped in food processor)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 ounces onion chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoons pepper

Instructions

Grate the cauliflower and put it into a colander, sprinkle the salt on top and mix thoroughly with your hands. Let the cauliflower sit for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop the onions and place them into a medium bowl. With clean hands, squeeze the water out of the cauliflower and put the cauliflower into the medium bowl with the onions. Add the cheese, baking powder and seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Add the eggs and mix until incorporated.

Skillet Method: Place a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out the cauliflower fritter batter and place into the hot skillet. Push down gently with a spatula to make a flattened pancake. Cook 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Don’t flip the fritter until the bottom is well cooked. (I PREFER THIS METHOD HANDS DOWN.)

Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two cookie sheets. Measure 1/4 cup of batter per fritter and flatten out into a circle. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flip and bake for 10-12 minutes more.
