Beer-Battered Fried Cauliflower

This is a great and easy recipe for fried cauliflower. I recommend only using self-rising flour because it helps it get more crispy and the right texture. You can serve this with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or marinara sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup beer
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 2 cups sliced cauliflower

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Step 3

Whisk flour, beer, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl to make batter. Submerge cauliflower pieces in batter to coat. Working in batches of 10, drag 1 piece at a time gently against the rim of the bowl to remove excess batter and transfer to the hot oil. Fry cauliflower, stirring gently to keep pieces separate, until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 4

Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried cauliflower to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Keep warm in the oven.

Step 5

Return oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches and continue frying cauliflower.
