Cauliflower fritters with flaxseed are a nutritious and delicious way to enjoy your vegetables while also benefiting from the added nutrients of flaxseed. This recipe offers a delightful combination of crispy texture and savory flavors, making it an excellent snack or side dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. This mixture will act as a binding agent for the fritters.
- Finely chop the cauliflower or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice. You should have about 5 cups of riced cauliflower.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper for seasoning. Mix well.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Pour in the flaxseed mixture, which should be gel-like by now. Mix everything until well combined.
- Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small patties or fritters. Aim for an even size to ensure uniform cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the cauliflower patties to the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary, so the pan isn't overcrowded.
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is finely chopped or riced for even cooking and better consistency in the batter.
- You can add chopped herbs such as parsley or cilantro to enhance the flavor.
- If the batter is too thick, add a small amount of water to reach your desired consistency.
- For an extra crispy texture, let the fritters sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
Cauliflower fritters with flaxseed are an easy and healthy option that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty dish that provides a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
