Breading

Garlic Sauce

Frying

Method

Preparing Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Cut and Prepare

    Remove leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Blanch (Optional)

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

Breading Process

  1. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.

  2. 4

    Bread the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place breaded florets on a plate.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 6

    Fry Cauliflower

    Carefully add breaded cauliflower florets to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Making Garlic Sauce

  1. 7

    Prepare Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Plate the fried cauliflower and serve warm with the garlic sauce on the side.
