How To Make pan fried cauliflower

  • Step 1
    Clean and dry the cauliflower really well.
  • Step 2
    You are only going to use the cauliflower florets, cut them and put aside until needed.
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl, add your eggs and then beat well, set aside until needed. In another small bowl add the flour, paprika and cayenne pepper. Mix well, and set it aside until needed.
  • Step 4
    Now steam the cauliflower for about 10 minutes. You want them firm not soft. Remove from pot, drain and cool.
  • Step 5
    Pour a half-inch of oil into a large frying pan and heat to medium.
  • Step 6
    Now that the oil is ready, dip the cauliflower florets in the beaten egg and then into the flour before frying on all sides.
  • Step 7
    Serve with dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy!
