Fruits and Vegetables Vegetables Cauliflower Fried Grandma Nickie's Deep-Fried Cauliflower 3.8 (9) 9 Reviews 3 Photos My Grandma Nickie used to make this deep-fried cauliflower treat, and we could never get enough! After many attempts, I managed to copy her recipe. Both my boys asked me to teach them to make it. My family loves eating this with fish.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings 3 cups oil for frying, or as needed 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets ¼ teaspoon salt 1 large egg, beaten 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup milk Directions Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Toss cauliflower florets with salt in a bowl. Whisk egg and vegetable oil together in a separate bowl. Whisk in flour and milk until batter is smooth. Working in batches, drop cauliflower florets into batter; stir to coat. Working in batches, gently lower battered cauliflower into preheated oil; fry until florets rise to the top and float, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn pieces over and continue frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried cauliflower to a paper towel-lined plate. Tips For darker, crunchier cauliflower, fry for a longer period of time. Editor's Note: Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of breading ingredients.
