Ingredients
1 head of broccoli
1 head of cauliflower
Seasoned batter
1 egg
1 ½ cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon smoked sea salt
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon ground all spice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oil to 350 degrees
- Wash, dry and cut up the broccoli and cauliflower into bite sized pieces
- In a blender combine all the seasoned batter ingredients and blend into a thick paste
- In a bowl of zip lock bag combine the broccoli cauliflower and batter to coat each piece
- One the oil is hot remove excess batter from each broccoli and fry until golden brown and crispy, making sure to fry evenly on both sides
- Drain on a paper towel and serve immediately
Greedy tips
- Fry in the hot oil for about 2 to 4 minutes
- If you want the broccoli to be extra crispy dip in the wet batter and then toss in some seasoned flour before frying
- You can use any combination of seasonings you choose for your seasoned batter
- If you don’t have smoked sea salt or smoked paprika use what you have.
- This method of batter frying does not sit well. So only fry right before serving. You can make the batter and store in the refrigerator for a day or two and dip and fry as needed.
