For the Cauliflower Fritters:

- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
For the Sausage Stacks:
- 4 chicken sausage links (or turkey sausage)

Instructions
Make the Cauliflower Fritters
- Grate the Cauliflower: Use a box grater or food processor until finely shredded. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel. - Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. - Form the Fritters: Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches wide.
Cook the Sausage
- Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. - Cook the Sausages: Cook sausage links for 10–12 minutes until browned and fully cooked through. Set aside and slice into rounds.
Fry the Fritters
- Prepare to Fry: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. - Fry Until Golden: Cook the cauliflower fritters for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Stacks
- Layer and Build: Start with one fritter on the plate, add a sausage slice, and repeat for 2–3 layers. - Finish and Serve: Garnish with extra parsley or a drizzle of spicy sauce if you like a little heat.
