How to Make Fried Cauliflower
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a shallow medium bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg.
- Place 1 cup of breadcrumbs in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Cut 1 large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Wash and thoroughly dry the florets with paper towels. This helps the breading adhere better.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Place the egg-coated florets into the bag with breadcrumbs. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all florets are evenly coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the breaded cauliflower florets to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is cooked through and extra crispy.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs (optional).
