ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into large florets
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 1⁄3 cup hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
directions
- Preheat oil for frying in a large dutch oven or fryer. It should be around 350 degrees F.
- In another bowl combine the ground flax seed with 1/4 cup of water.
- In a medium size mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, cayenne pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Old Bay, and nutritional yeast.
- Into the bowl with the flax “egg” add the hot sauce and dijon mustard and whisk until creamy.
- Use one hand to carefully dip a cauliflower floret into the wet mixture, then drop it into the flour mixture and use your other dry hand to coat it completely.
- Dip it back into the flax mixture, and again into the dry mixture (remember to keep one hand for wet dredging and the other for dry).
- Carefully lower the twice coated cauliflower into the hot oil. Repeat with remaining cauliflower until you can’t fit any more into the pot.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the pieces are golden.
- Transfer fried cauliflower to a large plate covered with paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Continue to cook the remaining cauliflower.
- Serve hot.
