Hot Fried Cauliflower Bites

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water until you have a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Toss in Buffalo Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine the fried cauliflower bites with buffalo sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hot fried cauliflower bites with blue cheese dressing and pickled onions on the side.
