How to Make Batter Dipped Deep Fried Cauliflower
- Preheat your fryer or large pot of oil to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently toss cauliflower florets (about 4 cups) in the egg mixture until fully coated.
- Dredge the egg-coated cauliflower in the flour mixture, ensuring each floret is evenly covered.
- Carefully add cauliflower florets to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried cauliflower with a slotted spoon and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, ranch, or blue cheese.
