Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    If using artichoke hearts, drain and pat dry. If using cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in the third.

Breading

  1. 3

    Coat the Vegetables

    Dredge each vegetable piece in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Vegetables

    Carefully add breaded vegetables to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy artichokes or cauliflower hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
