Say hi to these gluten-free cauliflower fritters! Nom, nom!
I love all fritters but these paleo cauliflower fritters are simply the best! A simple, crispy clean food recipe perfect as a meal on its own or to fill burger buns.
I’m almost 25 weeks pregnant and I feel tired at the end of a day. Still, I do my best to prepare simple, delicious dinner using fresh vegetables for my family. I love healthy cauliflower recipes. I shared so many on my blog – the first were the cauliflower pizza crust and cauliflower tots that I make very often.
I did these cauliflower fritters in less than 10 minutes last night. It’s a bit longer to fry than regular fritters but it’s such a delicious and healthy dinner for busy nights. I love cauliflower because it’s a low-carb vegetable and it’s loaded with fiber too. I simply makes them using 4 ingredients: grated cauliflower, eggs, fresh herbs and gluten-free breadcrumb from Bakeworks. I hear you, breadcrumbs are not paleo! I know! But I tested the recipe with almond meal as well and it works! 
The texture of the batter is quite moist and I wasn’t sure it would fry well but it actually does! I recommend to squeeze a small portion in your hands to form 5 cm diameter cauliflower fritters. Then place the paleo cauliflower fritters on a plate covered with parchment paper and slightly press them with your hand to shape a flat fritter – about half a cm of thickness. If you are using the Bakeworks gluten free breadcrumbs it will perfectly hold together and fry easier than using almond meal – see recipe notes for the amount of almond meal to use. 
You must fry them for at least 5 minutes on one side before flipping over for 3 more minutes on the other side. The batter was big, so I fried them, stored the leftover in a plastic box in the fridge and rewarmed in a frying pan – without oil this time – the next day. I really enjoyed eating these fritters topped with mashed avocado and tomatoes as a light dinner. But it’s also a great cauliflower appetizer served between lettuce leaves with a drizzle of sriracha sauce and aioli.
You can also use them as a vegetarian filling for your sandwich – I made cauliflower vegetarian sliders with halloumi and cranberries with them too – and put them in your lunch box – simply microwave them for few minutes and eat them with raw veggies in a wrap or slider bun. I hope you will enjoy this new simple recipe and if you give it a try, drop a comment! I love hearing from you.

Hi! How many fritters make one serving?
The recipe makes 16 fritters, 1 serve is 4 fritters. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
I think I missed how many fritters is 1 serving. I made them and ate them all !! ahahhaha
It should serve about 2 people and make 16 fritters, but hey, it is ok if you had them all 🙂 We need to indulge sometime and it is healthy food. Take care, Carine
I tried making the cauliflower fritters but the batter never came together so Inwas
Not able to make them into balls. Suggestions? Thank you, I put it in all in a loaf pan and will bake it. Will let you know how that turns out.
I am sorry to hear that. Did you use large eggs and the grated cheese version or no cheese ? The cheese and large eggs really help hold everything together better. I hope it come out great as a loaf too. Enjoy the recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine
Will definitely try with the avocado; cooked up better than I expected! Was thinking a mustard sauce would be good; any suggestions? Thank you!
Mustard sauce on the side would be good but I recommend my simple avocado dip on top or sugar free tomato sauce. This is amazing! Enjoy the fritters. XOXO Carine.
Hi there!!!! Could I replace the eggs with something else? These look so good! But I don’t eat eggs!
Thank you!

Hello! My husband is vegan (so he won’t eat egg too), I did this recipe with a flax egg for him and it comes out great. It is basically 1 tbsp flaxmeal soaked 10 minutes in 3 tbsp of water. Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine.
Do you have any recipes that do not involve avocdo, eggs , cow, pork ? I am not a fan of these items. I can tolerate an eggs in cookies, salmon patties, but not just egg straight up. Yuk! My preference of food is a matter of taste an texture. I need to eat clean but having problems with likes and dislikes. Love vegetables, fish, fruits, nuts, legumes and beans!!! My problem is cheese and fries foods. ????
