Cauliflower Fritters recipe & content provided by Ryan Carter
Craving hash browns? These cauliflower fritters make the perfect paleo-friendly alternative. They’re great for dipping in homemade guacamole or aioli, or serving with eggs and a heaping scoop of greens. Plus, they’re an amazing way to get kids (and grownups) to eat their veggies.

Cauliflower fritters combine one of my favorite cruciferous vegetables with anti-inflammatory spices like cumin, ginger, and turmeric. After steaming the cauliflower, these little fritters come together with heat-stable collagen peptides and coconut flour. Then, they’re pan fried in ghee until they get a crisp, golden crust.
I like my cauliflower fritters dressed with extra virgin olive oil, arugula, and an over-easy egg. However, you can also serve them with dishes like poached butter shrimp, fish curry, or jerk marinated pork chops.
