Experience a delightful twist on traditional cauliflower patties! These air-fried delights are infused with the rich, umami sweetness of black garlic, perfectly balanced with a subtle spicy kick. Topped with melted Swiss cheese, they're an irresistible appetizer or light meal.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

Finely chop the cauliflower florets and black garlic bulbs in a food processor until they resemble rice. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the flour, beaten eggs, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, black pepper, basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Gently flatten each mound with your fingers to form patties. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Air fry the patties for 4 to 6 minutes. Carefully flip them with a spatula and continue cooking for another minute, or until the patties are nicely set and lightly golden. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the patties from the air fryer. Top each patty with the torn Swiss cheese pieces. Return them to the air fryer and cook for an additional 30 to 40 seconds, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly. (1 minute)

For a smoother patty texture, steam or microwave the cauliflower florets for a few minutes before processing.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
These patties can be served immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack. They're also great as a light lunch or dinner option.
