Instructions
Prepare the tempura batter by mixing flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cold water until smooth.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C (356°F).
Dip cauliflower florets into the tempura batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Fry the coated florets in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Toss the fried cauliflower in Frank's RedHot sauce until evenly coated.
For the vegan ranch, blend vegan mayonnaise, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Serve the spicy cauliflower tempura with the vegan ranch dressing on the side.
Tip
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture without absorbing excess oil.
