Crispy fried cauliflower can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature. The dish involves deep frying cauliflower in oil heated to 365 degrees, resulting in tender and golden-brown florets. A tahini sauce made from tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and water complements the cauliflower, enhancing its flavor. The dish is seasoned with salt immediately after frying and is best served with lemon wedges on the side, making it versatile as an appetizer, snack, or filling for sandwiches and pitas.
Pour oil to a depth of about 2 inches into a large Dutch oven and heat to 365 degrees. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and set it near the stove.
When the oil is ready, add the cauliflower and cook, turning the florets as needed to color evenly and adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain the oil at 365 degrees, until the cauliflower is tender and deep golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
