These herby cauliflower fritters call on a clever shortcut ingredient to make prepping a breeze: frozen riced cauliflower. Yes, the now ubiquitous (and often unfulfilling) “replacement” for rice creates the ideal base for these flavorful, moreish fritters, removing the frozen staple from its low-carb confines and allowing its true culinary merits to shine. Here the riced cauliflower is mixed with tender herbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs to create a meatball-like mixture that gets formed into patties and fried until crisp and golden. Paired with a zippy lemon yogurt and scattered with sliced red onions and even more herbs, they make an ideal vegetarian dinner.
