After trying and enjoying Trader Joe’s Potato Pancakes, we were eager to try more savory pancake dishes. Thankfully, the new Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Pancakes were there to satisfy our cravings. These palm-sized treats looked like a tasty breakfast option, and they seemed like they’d make a great snack as well.
When we took these pancakes out of the packaging, we were reminded of Dr. Praeger’s Broccoli Littles. The patties had a cute, compact shape that reminded us of a four-leaf clover. Because we wanted to keep our pancakes looking cute, we decided to cook them in the oven. After about 15 minutes, we had a plate of nicely-browned patties.
If you’re trying to decide between cooking these babies on the stovetop or in the oven, we’d strongly suggest sticking with the oven instructions. Cooking these patties on the stove gives them a slightly greasy texture that detracts from their natural taste. The patties have already been cooked in sunflower oil, which is why adding more oil can leave you with a less appealing dish.
Like the Potato Pancakes, these cauliflower patties are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pancakes are nicely seasoned with leeks and a smattering of Parmesan cheese. They’re tasty enough to be eaten plain, but they’re light enough to pair with all kinds of sauces. Trader Joe’s recommends that you pair the pancakes with applesauce, but we’d suggest dipping them in your favorite sour cream.
If you like the idea of savory pancakes, but would prefer to avoid carbs, you should take a look at Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Pancakes. They make a terrific breakfast or a nice side dish, and they could even be a part of a delicious lunch or dinner. These patties are an excellent way to add more veggies to your diet.
