I made fried cauliflower for first time. Turned out great, but I used a mix of Italian bread crumbs, flour and panko bread crumbs. I also put in the bread crumb mixture garlic powder, onion powder, ground pepper, paprika and this great shallot salt we get from local spice store. Another tip, throw a pinch of sea salt as they're draining on paper towels. Everyone loved it, even Coby the wonder dog! Yum. P.S. I think it's the reviewers who give this recipe low stars who have no flair for seasoning. Of course it's going to be bland if you add no seasoning. Take a risk and create ... most of all enjoy!

I make this the way my mom always does: Using regular bread crumbs and doing a flower, egg/milk wash, and then rolling it in the bread crumbs. We eat it as a complete meal accompanied by mashed potatoes and dip the cauliflower in tartar sauce. One of my favorite dishes!

I remember my mother making fried cauliflower as my side dish for my mac&cheese, but she did it TOATALLY different.... Instead of using bread crumbs and eggs, she used pancake batter! It's was delicious! It's was savory and crunchy! Yum! :)

Wonderful! Tips? Only initially boil cauliflower for 4min or it will crumble, use flavorful seasoning rather than crackers (add shredded parmesan to make it even better), only fry for 3-5 seconds or it will burn, dip in ranch! This is surprisingly good.

my grandmother made these all the time and i loved them, but she used flour and corn meal, i've made these with beer batter and just fried them without coating, with salt to taste this is the best way to eat cauliflower EVER

Absolutely divine. I used breadcrumbs, seasoned salt, garlic salt, garlic powder, oregano and parsley, cooked in EVOO. it was a little messy but the results wonderful. I ate half a head of cauliflower with a multi-tiered salad that included red peppers, zucchini, on a bed of lettuce and a dash of shredded cheese. I will make this again. Thanks !

I change the recipe as follows when I make this instead of making my own batter, I use a box of the jiffy cornbread mix and just mix it with milk until it's the right consistency to dunk the cauliflower in. Then I deep fry it. Everyone loves it and it's cheap and easy to make!
