DirectionsPreheat oven to 200°F. Place a wire rack inside a large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Place cauliflower and water in a medium microwaveable bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on High until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and drain well. Let cool slightly, uncovered, at room temperature, for 5 minutes.Jason DonnellyTransfer the drained cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until broken into smaller pieces, about 3 pulses. Add eggs, flour, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, baking powder and 1/2 cup blue cheese; pulse until the cauliflower is finely chopped and the mixture is well combined, about 20 pulses. Remove the knife blade from the food processor and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese.Jason DonnellyHeat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in 3 batches (about 6 to 7 fritters per batch), spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of cauliflower mixture into the hot oil and gently press into a 1 1/2-inch-wide patty using a metal spatula. Cook until well browned on both sides, flipping once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a metal spatula. Place the fritters on the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat the process with the remaining cauliflower mixture. Serve warm with sour cream, if desired.Jason DonnellyOriginally appeared: EatingWell.com, January 2023

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
