Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • ½ cup carrots diced
  • ½ cup frozen peas thawed
  • ½ cup white whole wheat flour
  • cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • Avocado oil or oil of choice

Instructions

  • Combine the water, cauliflower, carrots and peas in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for about 4 minutes, and drain well. Whilst in the colander, press down hard on the veg with a piece of paper towel, to drain excess water.
    4 cups water, 2 cups cauliflower florets, ½ cup carrots, ½ cup frozen peas
  • Transfer veg to a cutting board and chop everything finely
  • Pop the chopped veg into a large bowl; add in the flour and stir to coat. Then add in the cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, green onions, and egg and combine. It should be fairly wet and sticky
    ½ cup white whole wheat flour, ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, 2 green onions, 1 egg
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mixture to the skillet an flatten slightly. Each fritter should consist of about ¼ cup of the mixture (I used an ice cream scoop)
    Avocado oil
  • Cook for about 4 minutes on each side (remember to flip halfway through), until nice and golden. Pop onto a plate lined with paper towel to remove any excess oil. Serve with hummus, yoghurt, lane, ketchup, or nice big salad, for something more substantial. Enjoy

Notes

Store
Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
I like to heat mine in the air fryer for about 5 minutes. They can also be microwaved, but they may become a bit soggy.
Leftovers can also be eaten cold.
