So far I tried making a flour based coating and frying it and I’ve tried frying it for 5 mins before putting it in the oven. Neither option was successful.
Air fryers seem to work better
This is the way. I’ve had good luck cutting it into small pieces, coating in oil (or ghee), and then air frying until you’ve gotten your preferred level of doneness.
Thanks, yeah I think maybe this is what I’m missing.
Maybe try searing it on high heat until it gets brown and crispy-ish on the outside and then put it in the oven? Breading it might be another option, but in both cases you’re only going to get it semi-crispy on the outside - I think it has too much water content to crisp all the way through.
Edit: Haha, searched for “crispy cauliflower” and that’s what came up: https://minimalistbaker.com/quick-crispy-cauliflower/
Yes this is one of the recipes I tried. Perhaps I need to make some adjustments and try again.
Air frier gets it crispy.
The oven is not the friend of crispy cauliflower, neither is submerging it in oil.I do not own an air fryer but I’m starting to think I may need to invest in one.
Raw cauliflower is pretty crispy
I would call it crunchy vs crispy.
If you use a wet batter you will get a crispy coating with tender cauli insides. It’s wildly delicious.
Do you have a good batter recipe for cauliflower? The one I tried didn’t work out too well.
