Ingredients:
1 cauliflower, finely chopped (remove stems)
3 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1 whole egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp apple sauce puree
2 tbsp corn flour
1 tsp mild curry powder
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1/4 cup coriander leaves or continental parsley, chopped
canola oil cooking spray
Step 1: place chopped cauliflower florets into a microwave-safe container and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and tender. transfer the florets to a cutting board and chop them into very small pieces.
Step 2: place cauliflower into a large mixing bowl. add the rest of the ingredients and stir well until combined. if mixture is too wet, add a little more flour.
Step 3: line a plate with 2–3 sheets of paper towel and set aside.
Step 4: lightly coat a non-stick frying pan with oil. heat over medium-high heat. spoon 4–5 heaped tablespoons of mixture into the pan. space fritters about 1 inch apart. flatten slightly with a spatula.
Step 5: cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip. cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate. repeat the process until all mixture is used.
TIPS:

• option to use pre-chopped cauliflower rice (produce area or frozen food section). cook according to packet instructions.
• use an egg ring to help shape if desired.
