Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 head cauliflower, grated About 4 cups when grated.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Can use feta or mozzarella for a different flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • as needed table spoon Oil for frying Use for frying the patties.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly, then chop it into florets. Grate the florets until you have about 4 cups.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the grated cauliflower for about 3-5 minutes until it's tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed cauliflower, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet without overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  2. Remove the patties and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  3. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the shaped patties on a lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Ensure the grated cauliflower is well-drained to avoid sogginess.
