Fried Cauliflower

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Break the cauliflower into small florets and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the cauliflower from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving.
