Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, riced (finely riced, see instructions)
- 1/3 cup cassava flour
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (optional - omit for whole30 and strict paleo)
- 2 eggs whisked (can be omitted, but fritters won't bind as well)

Directions
Cut the head of cauliflower into small florets.
Using the blade attachment, add 1/2 of the cauliflower florets to the processor and turn into rice by pulsing in the food processor until the cauliflower is processed into fine bits. Repeat with remaining cauliflower.
- Mix all of the ingredients (except avocado oil and any toppings) together in a bowl.
- Form the cauliflower mixture into small patties with your hands. It helps to form a round ball and squeeze it well and then flatten it into a patty. It will make approximately 10 medium patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add in the cauliflower patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Work in batches of 4-5 patties and add extra oil if needed between batches.
- When the fritters are cooked, transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
Serve with mayo for dipping!
