Cauliflower Bites

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water, whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.

  3. 3

    Batter the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Carefully place the battered cauliflower in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Toss in Buffalo Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried cauliflower bites with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with vegan ranch or buttermilk ranch on the side for dipping.
