Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets and halve the Brussel sprouts. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and water. Whisk until smooth.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat oil

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

  2. 4

    Coat and fry

    Dip the cauliflower florets and Brussel sprouts into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Drain

    Remove the fried vegetables from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Assemble the dish

    In a serving bowl, combine the crispy fried cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. Top with toasted pine nuts, golden raisins, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve warm.
