Cajun Fried Cauliflower Recipes

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, pickle, mustard, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate remoulade until ready to use.
• Place cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 6 minutes. Transfer to a food processor in batches and process to the consistency of rice. Place riced cauliflower in the center of a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Combine Cheddar cheese and cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir and heat 30 seconds more. Add riced cauliflower, egg, Parmesan cheese, flour, parsley, and seafood seasoning and stir until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use clean hands to form cauliflower dough into wedge shapes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of each wedge with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with remoulade for dipping.

Steps:

• Wash head of cauliflower.
• Place cauliflower in a large pot with enough water to cover.
• Add the bag of crab-boil, and the salt to the water.
• Bring to a boil; cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until cauliflower becomes "fork tender".
• When cauliflower becomes tender, remove from heat and allow cauliflower to "soak" in the spice for about 3-5 minutes (the longer it soaks, the spicier it gets).
• Remove cauliflower from the water and drain.
• Cut cauliflower into florets.
• Place breadcrumbs in a large bowl and mix in the Cajun seasoning.
• Mix together the beaten eggs and the 1/3 cup lemon juice.
• Heat enough oil to deep fry the cauliflower to 350°F.
• Coat each floret in the egg mixture, and then dredge in the breadcrumbs.
• Deep fry until breadcrumbs turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
• Drain well on paper towels.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauces if desired.

• Place flowerets into egg mixture and toss (or shake baggie) to coat well.
• Remove and place into flour mixture and toss (or shake baggie) to coat well.
• Fry in batches for 4 - 6 minutes or until golden brown.
