Making fritters is such a good idea when you want to eat more greens but not necessary in their original form or just by making a salad out of them. Fritters are really easy to make and can be made using all of your favorite vegetables. The best thing is that they can be made both very healthy and delicious at the same time… and seasoned just the way you like or crave. Thats the best thing. You can really find a fritter recipe that you like, but then just change the seasoning and add-ins and you never have to get tired of them.

They are also really great to make for meal prep purposes. These cauliflower and leek fritter are both gluten, grain free and low carb. And they can be made both vegan and non vegan.
A few tips:
- Make sure the cauliflower is well grated/mixed in a blender, not leaving any too big chunks.
- You can use any flour you like or prefer.
- If the batter really doesn’t stick together (they will be a little loose before frying) add some more flour.
- When frying the fritters I prefer to use a non stick pan since it makes it much easier to fry them without breaking them.
- Make sure to fry the fritters until they are golden brown on one side before flipping them. Try not to touch them the first 2-3 minutes, otherwise they might break.
- I use a silicon spatula when flipping them.
- They are good to store in the fridge for 2-3 days in the fridge.
- You can use either egg or a flax egg to make these fritters.
