Method
Fried Cauliflower Directions
- 1
Prepare the Cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and place them in a large bowl.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the ice water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Fry the Cauliflower
Carefully place the coated cauliflower florets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried cauliflower using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
