Crispy Cauliflower Ingredients

Method

Crispy Cauliflower Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the water and mix until you have a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Carefully place the coated cauliflower florets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Add Sauce (Optional)

    If desired, toss the crispy cauliflower in your choice of Buffalo sauce, hot honey, or BBQ sauce before serving.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
