"Great appetizer or snack. The breading is not too heavy. The only time I've seen guys eat cauliflower during a football game is when it's this recipe."

  1. This is a GREAT recipe! We were doing the cauliflower with chicken wings and dipped the last half dozen wings in the egg and powder and deep fried them. OUTSTANDING!!! Great for both.
     
  2. I can't wait to try out this recipe. I grew up in upstate NY and always ate deep fried cauliflower when my mother took us to Bernie Murray's for chicken wings. You have to try these with Cocktail Sauce it's the best!
     
  3. Sooooo good! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the temp seemed a bit too high for the cook time, when we do this again (which will be very soon) we'll try 350 and make sure to use bigger pieces. Some of mine were too small and the cauliflower pretty much disappeared (which made for little pieces of very tasty deep fried batter, danger :) . Thanks for sharing a perfect combination of flavors and for getting my 5 year old to eat cauliflower!
     
  4. Great snack! I used cajun seasoning just because I'm a SOUTHERN! I'll definitely make this for our next family gathering!
     
  5. Added more cayenne bc I like it spicier and omitted the thyme and oregano. Great taste! Dipped in Blue Cheese
