Easter delicacy: Roasted cauliflower patties with mashed potatoes

Easter ranks among the holidays that are associated not only with traditions, but also with delicious dishes. If you want to bet on something light, maybe you’ll find inspiration here. We prepared a relatively low-calorie dish, but it was 100% worth it in terms of taste. It was roasted cauliflower patties with mashed potatoes. In the following lines we will share with you a recipe that is not very complicated.

Gluten-free or with gluten? Depends on you

Cauliflower patties can be made in both gluten and gluten-free versions. It depends on whether you use breadcrumbs and classic flour, It is undoubtedly not necessary.

We used breadcrumbs. Specifically, to make this dish, we needed:

– medium-sized cauliflower,

– half a drumstick of garlic,

– 2 tablespoons of marjoram,

– 5 tablespoons of cornflour,

– 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs,

– 150 g of cheese, we used eidam,

– 2 eggs,

– about half a tablespoon of salt,

– a little pepper.

The procedure is quite simple

First of all, wash and divide the cauliflower into florets. Then boil it in salted water. It doesn’t have to be completely soft.

The ideal time is about 8 minutes. After cooling, cut the cauliflower into small pieces. It could also be mashed, but this way the texture is preserved a little. Add the egg, crushed garlic, grated cheese, salt, pepper, marjoram, flour and breadcrumbs. Everything needs to be mixed thoroughly.

Hooray for patties

When the mixture is ready, all you have to do is make the patties. We almost had meatballs. But before that, prepare a shallow baking tray lined with baking paper.

Lightly spray it with oil spray. Place the patties on the baking tray. Spray these lightly with oil. But it is minimal. Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes, then turn over and finish baking. Just watch that they are golden brown. You can see for yourself in our pictures. Serve with mashed potatoes.
