MANDY’S SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve cheesy cauliflower fritters with a dip and a salad or steamed vegetables on the side.
STORING LEFTOVERS: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
Prep tips: Alternatively, you can bake the fritters in the oven for about 30 mins, or air-fry for 15 mins.
Allergies: For a dairy-free version: Swap parmesan with nutritional yeast. For a gluten-free version: Swap wholemeal spelt flour with arrowroot or a gluten-free flour blend. For an egg-free version: Swap egg for a store-bought egg replacer or use a flax egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water) or chia egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp chia seed meal + 3 tbsp water).
Easy ingredient swaps: Swap wholemeal spelt flour for wholemeal flour.
Additional boosters: Boost with 1 tbsp of chia seeds.
Baby-friendly version: Serve mashed or in finger food-sized pieces.
For fussy eaters: Make sure the texture of the fritters is smooth.
