General Guidelines for Cooking Roasted Cauliflower

To serve as a side dish, the inflorescences are fried, dipped in egg and breaded with breadcrumbs; the batter-frying technology is also used. By adding eggs and vegetables to the inflorescences, you get complete light dishes.

Fry frozen or fresh cabbage. In the first case, the product is thawed; in the second, it is simply separated into inflorescences. The pickling option is not suitable. Cabbage prepared for future use using this method is more suitable for salads and marinades.

Before frying, the inflorescences are dried after thawing or blanching. This is mandatory and does not depend on the frying method. Wet pieces will not be able to be breaded evenly; the batter will drip off them and will not brown when fried.

The simpler the batter recipe, the tastier the dish will be cold. Many people even prefer not just cooled, but deliberately kept fried cauliflower in the cold.
