Fried Cauliflower (The Olive Branch Copycat Recipe)
This fried cauliflower is my copycat version of the yummy appetizer served at The Olive Branch. Quick, easy, and delicious!
I first tried fried cauliflower at one of our favorite Mediterranean dining spots~The Olive Branch. After enjoying it there as an appetizer, I decided to try my own version at home.
Although I used Greek seasoning and lemon juice, there are many other seasoning options for pan fried cauliflower. Pioneer Woman’s spicy cauliflower stir fry calls for soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and sriracha or other hot sauce. I plan to try her version next!
I’d love to hear from you if you try this! Be blessed, and stay savvy!

I would think so, Twyla! I would definitely use olive oil. Not sure if coconut might give it a sweet flavor? If you try it, let me know how it works!
Looks delicious! Would this work with olive oil or coconut oil?
