These golden cauliflower patties are a delightful twist on a classic recipe, offering a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water.
Microwaving the cauliflower helps soften it quickly while retaining its nutrients.
Microwave the cauliflower until tender, then drain and mash it with a fork.
Ensure the cauliflower is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until a batter forms.
Adjust the flour quantity to achieve a consistency that holds together when forming patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom.
Using a non-stick skillet can help prevent the patties from sticking.
Scoop portions of the batter and shape them into patties, then place them in the hot skillet.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Cook the patties until golden brown on both sides, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Flip the patties gently to maintain their shape.
Serve the patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an appealing presentation.
