Ah, the beauty of simplicity! These easy-to-make Crispy Cheesy Cauliflower Fritters are reminiscent of traditional potato latkes, minus the belly-bloating carbs. With a craveable crispy exterior and soft succulent center, this dish is kid-approved and perfect at any time of the day. Serve them up for breakfast with a sunnyside egg on top, for lunch with a light green side salad, or at dinnertime as a sensational side.
