It feels like I’m always looking for something new to make that’s satisfying, healthy, easy – and, of course, delicious! Here’s my latest idea that checks all the right boxes. It only takes me 10 minutes to prepare and is a real crowd pleaser!

The trick to making the perfect cauliflower rice patties is simple: crispy fried onions!

These cauliflower rice patties are perfect for home or on-the-go. They’re neat enough to be finger food and can be cooked in a Betty Crocker pizza maker if you like your food extra fresh away from home.

You can also air fry or bake these, making them so versatile to cook and serve up!

How to serve cauliflower rice patties

For a quick meal, pull out a couple and pair with sunny side up eggs and avocado on sourdough toast.

On the other end of the spectrum, they can also be served as an elegant appetizer for any meal – top it with something classy like beef fry or lox, and consider plating it with some fresh greens to dress it up.

This non-dairy, vegetarian patty will add fresh variety to your 9-days menu. You can also make it gluten-free by substituting the breadcrumbs with your preferred binder. I’ve made them with almond flour for a bit of a protein boost too.

You’ll need to make sure to use gluten free crispy onions too (or use regular sauteed onions for flavor – but you’ll miss out a bit on the texture)

You can add the seasonings to the batter one by one, or blend them together to make a great all-purpose seasoning mix you can use again and again. You can also take a shortcut and use 1 tablespoon of onion salt instead of this and that. Feel free to play around with the seasonings to suit your taste or mood – the mild taste of cauliflower makes a great base for all kinds of flavors.

Prepping and Freezing Cauliflower Rice Patties

The quantities listed below make around 12 patties, which is very satisfying for a small family but you can multiply it for a crowd.

I usually at least double it each time I make it.

These patties freeze well, so make them in batches to pull out in a pinch – or anytime. I find a double ziploc bag keeps them really fresh. If you put 2-3 each in small ziploc bags, then you’ll have a perfect personal portion to help you stick to your eating goals without any hassle.
