Crispy Cauliflower Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

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

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare Agave Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce and agave syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring until well combined and heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle the agave buffalo sauce over the crispy cauliflower or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
