Ingredients
FRIED CAULIFLOWER
1 large head cauliflower, sliced into 1" steaks
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 teaspoon paprika
Salt and Pepper
2 large eggs
Vegetable oil, for frying
HOT HONEY (optional)
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a large deep-sided skillet, add sliced cauliflower and enough water to come halfway up the sides of the cauliflower. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder,
paprika, and season with salt. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Toss cooled cauliflower in flour mixture, then eggs, return to flour mixture, and toss again until completely coated.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1" oil until it starts to bubble. Carefully add cauliflower and fry until deeply golden, 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel–lined plate.
Whisk up hot honey and pour it on top of the cauliflower. Enjoy!
