Deep Fried Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place broccoli in a medium saucepan with 1 cup boiling water. Return to a boil. Cook covered until firm but tender, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the Cheddar cheese. Mix in the broccoli. Allow the mixture to cool and thicken approximately 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix the bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Spread the mixture onto a large piece of wax paper.
• Form the broccoli cheese mixture into balls and roll in the bread crumb mixture until thoroughly coated.
• Deep fry the balls until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep fryer or large pot on stove to 350° Fahrenheit
• Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour milk and egg wash in a ziplock bag.
• Combine remaining ingredients (except broccoli) in a separate ziplock bag; close the bag and shake thoroughly to mix. (Cajun or Creole seasonings: Zatarain's or Tony Chachere's, to taste or 1 teaspoon).
• Shake and soak broccoli pieces in egg wash bag for 5 minutes, then place them in flour and seasoning ziplock bag. Shake to coat. Place each coated broccoli piece in hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
• Best served hot out of the fryer. Serve with condiments of your choice, catsup, hot sauce, or cocktail sauce are my favorite choices.

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, sumac, cayenne and lemon zest.
• Add the garlic to the oil. Fry until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain. Add half of the broccoli to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining broccoli.
• Put the broccoli in a serving bowl and toss with the Parmesan mixture. Sprinkle with the fried garlic. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cheese and beer with whisk until smooth. Add broccoli; toss until well coated with batter.
• In deep fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F. Fry broccoli in batches 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve warm broccoli bites with ranch dressing for dipping.

Steps:

• In a frying pan heat olive oil.
• Put in a pinch of rosemary and saute until the scent gets very pungent.
• Add broccoli and a couple of dashes of white pepper (2-4).
• Saute until the broccoli gets very green but looks crunchy/cooked.
• Lastly, toss in bread crumbs a bit at a time while still sauteing.
• The crumbs will start to stick into the broccoli.
• Once all or most of the crumbs are in the broccoli, saute for 1 or 2 minutes longer to brown.
• Serve right away.

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the broccoli.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the crushed red pepper and heat 1 minute. Cook and stir the broccoli in the skillet until it begins to get crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt to serve.
