Fried Cauliflower Florets
Ready to Eat!
I’ve been on my cauliflower kick for quite some time now, especially after seeing Chef Alyssa’s Asian BBQ Cauliflower Tacos. I’m a big fan of eating healthy and clean foods, but every so often I do get a craving for fried foods. Instead of going out to indulge in a bucket of fried chicken, I decided to be healthy and make fried cauliflower. I grew up with this dish as a child and absolutely love the light taste the fried cauliflower brings.
I took my dad’s original recipe that calls for olive oil and swapped that out for coconut oil. Since I’m using an unrefined coconut oil, I’m going to keep the heat on a medium-high to make sure my cauliflower doesn’t burn. An unrefined coconut oil has a smoke point of about 375 degrees, so you want to be sure to not have the burner on high.
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup flour
3 whole eggs
1 cup coconut oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Feel free to use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour for this recipe as a modification. Coconut oil is also naturally gluten-free, which makes the modified recipe perfect for someone following a gluten-free diet. Make sure to check out my Top Cauliflower Recipes for more great dinner ideas!
