Vegan Cauliflower Pops with Four Ingredients
Ingredients
- 650g cauliflower florets
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- canola oil
- basil
- tomato ketchup or favorite dipping sauce
Preparation
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until cooked through.
Process until it turns into a very fine consistency, almost like mashed potato.
Transfer mixture into a bowl.
Add in the minced garlic, salt, and flour. Mix well.
Scoop around 1/2 tbsp of the mixture. Form into small balls.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add in the balls and cook in batches.
Cook until the balls are golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Remove the balls from the pan and place in a strainer to drain excess oil.
Turn off heat once all balls are cooked.
Garnish with chopped basil, if desired. Dip in your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
Baking alternative
Heat oven to 350F.
Place balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush the balls with some oil.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until brown on each side. Note that baked balls may not be evenly golden brown compared to frying.
