Healthy whole wheat parmesan cauliflower fritters
At first I loved the idea of cauliflower fritters, before making them I decided which ingredients to use. However, when I was preparing these fritters I was very skeptical if I should use regular whole wheat flour or if they even will taste good. I was not sure what to expect. They did not look appealing when I was making them. But I was not right, they are totally delicious! I love them:)
I like cauliflower and of course parmesan so I thought this is great combination. I made it very healthy (except for the frying). I served them with spaghetti sauce to add them a little more flavor. They are meatless and perfect for dinner or even appetizer.
