Ingredients

  1. Cut 1 medium cauliflower into florets
  2. 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or mix
  3. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  4. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free almond flour)
  5. 2 big eggs
  6. 2 minced garlic cloves
  7. 1 tsp onion powder
  8. 1 tsp dried oregano
  9. 1/2 tsp salt
  10. 1/4 tsp black pepper
  11. Optional garnish: 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  12. Olive oil spray for air fryer basket

Instructions

1. Prepare cauliflower:

  • Steam Cauliflower: Steam cauliflower florets for 10 minutes to tenderize. They can also be microwaved for 8 minutes in a microwave-safe dish with water.
  • Cool and Rice: Process steamed cauliflower when it cools. Pulse cauliflower into rice or crumbs. Without a food processor, chop it finely with a knife.
  • Riced cauliflower should be squeezed out of excess moisture in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is essential for crispy pancakes.

2. Make pancake batter:

  • Mix Ingredients: Mix riced cauliflower, shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, chopped garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a big bowl. Blend well.
  • For pancakes, scoop 2 tablespoons of ingredients and form a tiny patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.

3. Air-fry pancakes:

  • Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat for 5 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  • To prevent sticking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
  • Cauliflower pancakes should be in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Batch cooking may be necessary depending on your air fryer size.
  • Cook the pancakes at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

4. Serve:

  • If desired, top the pancakes with chopped fresh parsley on a serving platter.
  • Enjoy: Serve cauliflower pancakes hot with your favourite dipping sauce or sour cream.

Air Fryer Cauliflower Pancake Tips:

  • Dry cauliflower: Crispy pancakes require dry cauliflower. Avoid skipping the moisture squeeze.
  • To cook pancakes evenly, make sure they’re not too thick.
  • Batch cooking: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while air-frying the others.
  • Air Fryer Cauliflower Pancakes are easy to make, tasty, and healthful. They’re a delightful way to get cauliflower’s advantages. Enjoy this special meal and teach your guests about healthy eating!
