Nothing reminds us of good old home cooking like fried cauliflower. In this paleo recipe for fried cauliflower, we use tapioca instead of white flour to make this down home favorite. Before you fry the cauliflower, you must first prep the cauliflower by steaming it. The steaming instructions are below, followed by the cauliflower recipe.

Then I used a pot with a steamer basket and cover. I steamed the cauliflower over med high heat until tender (approx 8-10 min)
I set the cauliflower aside to cool, and made the batter.
