Prepare the cauliflower:
Cut the cauliflower into small florets or grate them with a grater. You can also puree it in a food processor until finely chopped. Prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add the flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Add the grated cauliflower to the batter and toss until well coated. The mixture should hold once it’s pressed.
Shape the pancakes:
Take 2-3 tablespoons of the cauliflower mixture and shape them into small patties or circles.
Bake pancakes:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom.
Fry the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
Serve:
Serve hot with your favorite sauce such as tzatziki, sour cream, or spicy aioli.
Service Tips
Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lemon.
Pair it with a salad for a light meal. Enjoy them as a topping in a pita wrap with salad and sauce.
Garnish with a poached egg for a hearty breakfast.
Offer them as an appetizer for the holidays with different sauces.
Cooking tips
For extra flavor, add grated onions or chopped green onions to the dough.
Make sure the oil is hot before frying it to get a crispy texture.
Make smaller pancakes for appetizers.
To bake instead of fry, place the pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
Add a pinch of chili flakes if you prefer a little spiciness.
