Gluten-Free Cheesy Cauliflower Patties are crispy, golden fritters made with mashed cauliflower, cheese, and simple seasonings. They’re naturally gluten-free, low in carbs, and perfect as a snack, appetizer, or light meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Steam or boil cauliflower florets until soft, then drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Mash cauliflower until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.
  3. In a large bowl, combine mashed cauliflower, shredded cheese, eggs, gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and herbs.
  4. Shape mixture into small patties using your hands.
  5. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite dip or sauce.

Notes

  • Squeeze out moisture from cauliflower to help patties hold together.
  • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes if preferred over frying.
  • Add spinach, zucchini, or chili flakes for variation.
  • Use almond flour for a grain-free, keto-friendly version.
  • Freeze after cooking and reheat straight from frozen.
