Why I Like this Recipe

I love how this recipe turns plain cauliflower into something hearty, crispy, and satisfying, yet still light. Baking instead of frying keeps them lighter, and spelt flour adds a nice nutty flavour. Enjoy them on their own, with your favourite dip, or with a green salad.

Tips and Variations

  • Add some grated cheddar or Parmesan for a richer flavour.
  • For a bit of heat, add some chilli flakes or smoked paprika.
  • To make these gluten-free, swap the spelt flour for chickpea flour or your favourite gluten-free blend.
  • Use the patties in a wholemeal bun with salad to make a veggie burger.
  • For extra protein, serve them with natural live yoghurt dip or hummus.
  • Pair them with roasted vegetables or a green salad for a light dinner.
  • Bake a batch ahead to have quick snacks or easy lunches ready.
  • For kids, make smaller bites from the mixture and serve with ketchup or yoghurt dip.

Meal Storage

Store the baked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or an air fryer to make them crispy again.

Freezer tips

Freeze these at -18°C in an airtight container for up to a month.

Defrost patties overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
