Fried Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 Head Fresh Cauliflower
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup light olive oil
• Extra Virgin Avocado Oil
  (for frying)

Preparation:

Wash and chop the cauliflower into bite-sized chunks. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together. In a separate bowl whisk the milk, egg and light olive oil (you will want to use light olive oil to avoid an overwhelming olive oil taste). Mix the dry and wet ingredients together to create batter. Dip the cauliflower into the batter completely coating each piece.

On medium/medium-high heat a layer of Extra Virgin Avocado Oil in a stainless steel frying pan. Place the coated cauliflower in the pan and fry until golden brown (turn as needed). Drain the cauliflower on paper towels.
