Yummy Cauliflower Fritters

Love potatoes? Hate the carbs? Here is a delicious alternative to potato cakes!

Ingredients:

2 cups of riced cauliflower (sauteed to release some moisture)

1 egg

1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup of almond flour

salt and pepper to taste

dash of garlic powder (optional)

**Note-2 eggs will also work in this recipe to help hold the fritters together. I'm not big on egg-y tasting dishes so I left it to just one. Either works!*

Mix your ingredients

Once everything is mixed, drop by the spoonful into a skillet coated with olive oil, then flatten each fritter. Our spatula did a perfect job of flattening the fritters once they were in the skillet! Fry until brown, then use our spoonula to flip over and brown the other side. This recipe seriously could not be any easier! And who knew spoonulas were so good for flipping food...

**Note #2**-if you use one egg, it is helpful to squish the batter into a ball shape with your hand before putting it in the skillet. This helped them hold together!

If you like sweet with your salty, add a little salt to the chocolate mixture
Add pecans or almonds into the chocolate mixture for some added crunch and protein!
Change the chocolate for white chocolate!
