Notes

  • Leftover fried cauliflower can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for best texture.
  • You can freeze un-fried battered florets for later use; fry them straight from the freezer.
