Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Select fresh, firm broccoli crowns with tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilting florets.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and wash them thoroughly. Drain the broccoli well before coating it in batter.
- Use a light batter: A light batter will allow the broccoli to remain crispy and prevent it from becoming soggy. You can use a simple batter made with flour, water, and eggs, or you can add additional ingredients like herbs, spices, or cheese.
- Fry the broccoli at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying broccoli is 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly and becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the broccoli well after frying: After frying the broccoli, drain it on paper towels to remove excess oil. This will help keep the broccoli crispy and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Season the broccoli to taste: Sprinkle the fried broccoli with salt, pepper, or other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of melted butter for extra flavor.
