Recipe Tips And Ingredient Add-Ins
How to store leftover cauliflower fritters
Leftover fritters can be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can reheat them by frying them in a pan with a little oil. Make sure to heat them through properly and to the correct temperature.
Ingredient Add-Ins
You can add in extra spices, chili, chopped fresh parsley or grated garlic. Or make these cheesy and add in some Parmesan cheese, or crumbled feta, even grated halloumi would work well.
Make gluten-free fritters
Gram flour is usually gluten free so fritters are a great option for a gluten free snack, just be sure to check the ingredient labels on all spices and other ingredients used to ensure they're all gluten free.
