Everything is better fried ... including cauliflower! The outside is nice and crispy while the center gets warm and soft. I love Parmesan cheese, so I sprinkled it liberally on top. These were gone in no time in the Test Kitchen. They're a great snack or would be tasty as a side at a cookout. Very yummy!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head of cauliflower
2 eggs, beaten with 1 tbs. water
3/4 - 1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp lite salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated and divided
1/8 tsp sweet spanish paprika (optional)
peanut or canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and cut cauliflower into thick (1/2") slices* from top to bottom of head (the slice will look like a fan); remove all green leaves and excess root. Leave just enough "root" at bottom to hold the sliced clusters together.
  • 2. Mix together flour, spices, and 1 tbsp parmesan cheese. Dip cauliflower in beaten egg mixture; then coat with flour mixture. Add enough peanut oil to cover bottom of skillet and heat to medium high temperature for frying. Cook cauliflower on both sides until golden brown; do not overcook (2 - 3 minutes each side). Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle on fried cauliflower the remaining 1 tbsp parmesan cheese.
  • 3. Serve as side dish or with remoulade sauce for dipping. Delicious!
  • 4. *Note: If some of the clusters break off into smaller pieces that is fine. Just dip them and fry!
