If you’ve never had cauliflower patties, you’ve been missing out! Don’t worry, though. I’m here to change all that for you today. I’ve been making these delicious patties for years. I love to serve them as appetizers for movie night or gameday parties, and I’ve been known to bring an extra big platter of them to potlucks and holiday gatherings. When my kids were in school, they and their friends powered these down after they got home from school, too. So needless, to say, I’ve made a lot of these. Once you try them, you’ll be making a lot of them, too!

Cauliflower Patties

These delicious patties are loaded with flavor, even though they’re not loaded with work or ingredients. Cauliflower, flour, eggs, and seasonings come together to create a flavorful mixture that’s pan-fried to perfection and served with your favorite dipping sauce. They’re quick, easy, and delicious. It doesn’t get better than that!

Recipe FAQ

How do you keep cauliflower from getting mushy?

Can I use frozen cauliflower for cauliflower patties?

You can. Defrost the cauliflower and thoroughly soak up all excess moisture. Then proceed with the recipe as written.

Can you freeze cauliflower patties?

Absolutely. They freeze very well, Just pop them in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze them for up to 3 months.
