How to cook Cauliflower roses in garlic batter

Step 1

Rinse the cabbage, disassemble into inflorescences and boil in salted water until half cooked. Cool down.

Peel the garlic cloves. Prepare the batter: sift the flour into a bowl, add enough water to make a dough like for pancakes. Salt the batter, pepper, add paprika and garlic passed through a garlic press.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Dip each inflorescence in batter, then in breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown. Set the finished roses on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Serve with fresh vegetables and herbs.

Cauliflower roses in garlic batter - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen cauliflower?

Yes, you can use frozen cauliflower florets. Make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before boiling to remove excess water.

What can I use instead of breadcrumbs?

You can use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness, crushed crackers, or even almond flour for a gluten-free option.

How long will these cauliflower roses last?

These are best served fresh and crispy. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They will soften, but you can reheat them in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up a bit.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, you can bake them. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the battered cauliflower florets on a baking sheet, and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

What's a good dipping sauce for these?

These are delicious with a variety of dipping sauces! Try a creamy garlic aioli, sriracha mayo, ranch dressing, or even a simple marinara sauce.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour in the batter with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Can I freeze the cooked cauliflower roses?

Freezing is not recommended as the batter and breadcrumbs can become soggy. It's best to enjoy them fresh.

I don't have paprika, what can I use?

If you don't have paprika, you can use a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat, or omit it altogether. Smoked paprika would also be a great substitute for added flavor.
