4 servings

  • 1 head large cauliflower, or 2 small heads, washed
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups soy milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower in large florets. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the celery salt, oregano, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, add half of the spice mix to the flour.
  • Add the cornstarch and mix.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce. Whisk.
  • Pour the remaining spice mix over the cauliflower florets and mix.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the cauliflower and mix well until they are coated.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour minimum.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Toss each cauliflower floret in the flour mixture until well-coated, shaking off any excess. Dip them back in the remaining soy milk mixture in the bowl where they marinated, then again in the flour mixture.
  • Fry the cauliflower for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the pieces on a wire or paper towels. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
