FRIED WHOLE CAULIFLOWER WITH CREAMY LEMON DIPPING SAUCE



Fried Whole Cauliflower with Creamy Lemon Dipping Sauce image

Cauliflower takes center stage in this deceptively simple dish that could be served as an entree or as a side to your favorite roasted chicken or turkey. By frying the cauliflower whole, it turns a deep golden color and becomes perfectly tender in a fraction of the time it would take if you were to roast it. We add a creamy lemon dipping sauce that adds just the right amount of zip.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup mayonnaise
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice)
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 large head cauliflower with the stem attached (about 3 pounds)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate while you fry the cauliflower.
  • Fill a large, deep stockpot halfway with oil and heat to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
  • Gently lower the cauliflower into the hot oil with a large spider or large slotted spoon. This might splatter so be very careful once the cauliflower is in the oil. The cauliflower might not be fully submerged, but that is okay. Cook until the cauliflower is golden brown and you can easily insert a paring knife into one of the florets, 5 to 7 minutes, carefully flipping the cauliflower halfway through the cooking time.
  • Lift the cauliflower out of the hot oil using the large spider or slotted spoon and transfer to the cooling rack. Season liberally with salt. Allow the excess oil to drip away before putting the cauliflower onto a large serving platter. Serve alongside the creamy lemon sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Select a head of cauliflower that is compact and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with brown or yellow spots, as these may indicate bruising or age.
  • Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Toss the cauliflower in a flavorful coating: The coating should be made with a combination of spices, herbs, and seasonings. This will help the cauliflower develop a crispy exterior and a flavorful interior.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the cauliflower florets so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding will result in steamed cauliflower instead of crispy cauliflower.
  • Bake the cauliflower at a high temperature: This will help the cauliflower develop a crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature of 400°F or higher.
  • Serve the cauliflower with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce will help to enhance the flavor of the cauliflower. Try serving it with a horseradish dip, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried cauliflower is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried cauliflower. It is a great way to enjoy cauliflower as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is also a good source of fiber, which can help to promote digestive health. With its crispy exterior and flavorful interior, oven-fried cauliflower is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
