Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 head of cauliflower (about 4 cups, riced) Remove leaves and cut into florets.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite) Feel free to experiment with different cheeses.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Use gluten-free if desired.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying Use a suitable frying oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Steam or boil them until tender (about 10 minutes), then drain well to remove excess moisture.
  2. Using a food processor, pulse the cooked cauliflower until it resembles rice. If you don’t have a food processor, a box grater works just fine.
Mixing
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Cooking
  1. With your hands, take a small portion of the mixture and form it into a patty shape, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the oil, cooking them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
  1. Enjoy them warm as a snack or as a side dish, paired with a fresh green salad or unique dipping sauces.

Notes

Make sure to drain the cauliflower well to prevent sogginess. These patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
