The cauliflower patties are a very tasty and light vegetarian main course. They are made with few and simple ingredients: eggs, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs, flavored with parsley, which can be replaced with marjoram, lemon zest, and even a pinch of garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of hot paprika to the breading for an even more intense flavor. Cauliflower is a very versatile vegetable with a delicate taste, making it possible to pair it with many ingredients. I cooked them in an air fryer, but they can also be baked or fried. Naturally, this dish can be made gluten-free and lactose-free. To replace the eggs, add a boiled potato of about 200 g. For cauliflower lovers, I recommend the Roasted Cauliflower.
