Cauliflower Preparation

Method

Cauliflower Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut the head into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Carefully add the battered cauliflower florets to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Buffalo Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted vegan butter, garlic powder, and vinegar (if using). Mix until well combined.

  2. 7

    Toss the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, add the fried cauliflower and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all the florets evenly.

Dressing

  1. 8

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
