Servings: 8 fritters
Calories: 60kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ cup almond flour, more if needed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Start by chopping the cauliflower into florets. Then cook them into boiling water or in a steamer until fork-tender (once you can easily insert a fork is ready to go. If you go until a puree texture, it will absorb a lot of water, more work afterwords but not a problem).
- First, let the cauliflower cool enough to be able to handle it. Then place it inside of a clean tea towel and squeeze it as much water out as possible. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add smoked paprika, salt and ground pepper and stir to combine.
- Place the cauliflower in a bowl and use a potato masher to mash the bigger pieces of cauliflower that could remain.
- Add ¼ cup of almond flour and stir. The result should be a soft dough that doesn’t lose its shape. Add an extra tablespoon of flour if needed.
- Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir very well to combine.
- Gently form the fritters with your hands being careful not to make them too thin.
- Cook the fritters in a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the skillet with a bit of olive oil or vegetable spray—Cook the fritters on both sides.
- Serve the fritters with avocado, tomatoes, or your favorite dip.
Notes
Keep leftovers in the fridge inside an airtight container for up to 4 days.
