Directions
Cajun-Fried Cauliflower, This recipe originally came from my Cajun great grandmother She didnt speak any English, but her cooking always received that universally understood Mmmm! I have modernized the recipe, by using purchased crab-boil and Cajun seasoning, instead of her multitude of mixed spices (Prep and cook times are a guesstimate ) , OMG so good that I’m munching on it now and didn’t want to wait to review I made some changes based on what I had, but followed the directions to boil, then cook a second time I had Old Bay, but not a thing of crab boil, so used that in the water, then rinsed the excess off after the cauliflower sat a few minutes in the water I had a very small head of cauliflower that probably should have boiled less time I then changed the directions so I could bake this rather than fry I preheated the convection oven to 425′, then did the egg/lemon wash, and breaded in cajun seasoned panko Drizzled melted coconut oil over the whole thing, then baked 15 minutes, flipped them, and baked about 5 more Crispy, spicy, and delish! I’m already putting cauliflower on the shopping list so I can make this again, but will get the crab boil to see how different it tastes Thanks for sharing!, We liked these very much I made these to go with french dip sandwiches and they were a hit I followed the directions exactly and we lovedit The instructions were very user friendly Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us
