Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 medium cauliflower heads, divided into florets
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for about 10 minutes, or until they start to soften. Test by poking with a fork; it should go in easily into the floret stem.
- Drain the cauliflower and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower with a fork or potato masher until it reaches a chunky consistency.
- Add the bread crumbs, eggs, dried oregano, and salt to the mashed cauliflower. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the cauliflower mixture onto the baking sheet, forming small patties or fritters.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
If you want a smaller quantity, you can halve the recipe. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
