Cauliflower. Farewell potato and welcome cauliflower…come in and make yourself comfortable.  Who knew what a tasty and versatile vegetable it is. Low in carbs and fabulous with cheese. This is another great idea from Your Lighter Side blog.. I can eat these just as a snack and dip them in home made mayonnaise….divalicious! You could add chopped spring onions or perhaps chives to this too.  I have also made them with cheese in the middle which was yummy but they did not hold their shape as well. Time to experiment with cheeses…

1 Cauliflower, medium head
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tsp garlic powder
Pepper

Cut the cauliflower into florets, place in a saucepan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft.

Drain the water and cool. Squeeze the florets in your hand to get rid of excess water.

Mash the cauliflower either by hand or blender. Add seasoning.

Make into croquettes shapes by hand.

Put the Parmesan cheese on a plate and roll the croquettes in the cheese.

Place the croquettes onto parchment/greaseproof paper and put into the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Heat the oven to 190c/375F degrees. Place the croquettes in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning them to get an even golden color.

Eat and enjoy!

Golden brown, texture like potato..
