Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the boiled cauliflower before mashing it. This will prevent the croquettes from becoming too wet.
  • You can customize the flavor of the croquettes by adding different spices or herbs to the mixture. Try experimenting with cumin, paprika, or oregano.
  • If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the cauliflower croquettes in the oven instead of frying them. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Leftover cauliflower croquettes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

Storage and Serving

  • Serve the cauliflower croquettes as an appetizer or snack.
  • They can also be served as a side dish with a main meal.
  • Pair them with a dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
  • Leftover croquettes can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven or microwave.
