Serve up these warm, crispy cauliflower fritters morning, noon or night!

Looking for the Paleo answer to carb-heavy hash browns? These yummy handheld fritters are it! The crispy breakfast champions are perfect for dunking in Paleo ranch or dairy-free sour cream.

Each of these “cheesy” little cauliflower fritters are bursting with nutritional benefits. Turmeric and black pepper form an anti-inflammatory powerhouse, while pasture-raised eggs pack protein and healthy Omega-3’s. Almond flour adds fiber and helps create the satisfying crispiness surrounding each fritter. And the not-so-secret ingredient that adds cheesy flavor without any dairy is (drumroll please)… nutritional yeast! This protein-rich flavor imparts a mild cheddar cheese taste and aroma to anything it touches.

Tip: Try nutritional yeast in soups or stews to add flavor and help thicken the broth.

Start by boiling or steaming the cauliflower until fork tender, not mushy. It’s essential to boil the cauliflower to create just enough moisture to help the fritters stick together and not crumble. Strain and lightly pulse florets in a food processor to create tiny rice-like bits.

Add the cauliflower to a mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix to combine and moisten. Melt ghee over medium heat in a large skillet while you form the cauliflower mixture into patties. Place 2-3 fritters on the pan and use a spatula to shape into circles. Cook 3-4 minutes, gently flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Serve the cauliflower fritters hot.

Alternative cooking method: If you prefer to bake your fritters, line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the fritters on the tray. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
