Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk
  • 100 g 1 cup ground almonds
  • 3 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender. Drain well and mash until it reaches a coarse texture.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine mashed cauliflower, psyllium husk, ground almonds, green onions, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Shape the Fritters: Form the mixture into small patties. If the mixture is too wet, let it sit for a few minutes to absorb excess moisture.
  4. Fry the Fritters: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the fritters and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Serve hot with your favorite dip or as a side dish.

Notes

  • Baking Option: For a lower-fat version, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or pan-fry to restore crispiness.
  • Freezing: Freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat straight from frozen in the oven or frying pan.
  • Customization: Feel free to add grated zucchini (squeeze out excess water), chopped spinach, or different seasonings like smoked paprika or cumin for extra flavor.
