- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk and lemon juice. Let sit for a minute. Then whisk in the water.

- Start heating about an inch of oil in a cast iron skillet or pot. Heat to about 325 degrees or so. Once the oil is hot, start dipping the cauliflower florets into the batter, coat completely. Add a few pieces of cauliflower to the oil at a time. Fry on each side for about 2-3 minutes until cooked through and crispy. Reduce heat as needed.
- Once they cauliflower is cooked through, scoop out and place on a paper towel. Repeat with all the cauliflower until it has all been fried. Serve immediately with dipping sauce if you like!
Notes
If you prefer a healthier method, you can use an air fryer for these, or bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
If you bake them, make sure to spray the baking sheet with non stick spray.
