  • Heat up canola oil in a large frying pan. Gently place breaded cauliflower into the pan. Cook until golden brown and then turn the florets on a different side and repeat. Due the irregular shapes of the florets, you may have to turn the florets more than once to cook all sides. Once cooked, place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
