This dish came together on a whim. Five o’ clock was rapidly approaching, and with it, a dining room full of hungry guests. But I had resolved to put a newside dish在那天晚上的菜单。在压力下,we can surprise ourselves with what we can accomplish, and what started as a freaked-out throw-together became a delicious discovery. Crunchy, creamy cauliflower drizzled with a bit of honey and finished with hot pepper flakes is a welcome surprise of flavor—not unlike crispy hot honey chicken.

Ingredients
Serves 6 to 8
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the cauliflower out on a baking sheet and roast until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the club soda and flour; set aside.
Step 4
In a deep fryer or large, deep skillet, bring a few inches of oil to 375°F.
Step 5
In a large bowl, lightly toss the roasted cauliflower in flour, then, working in batches, dredge the florets in the batter and fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcrowd the oil, or the florets will lower the temperature of the oil and become soggy.
Step 6
Transfer the hot fried cauliflower to a platter; drizzle with the honey; and sprinkle with the chile flakes, lemon zest, and a few generous pinches of Maldon salt. Eat straightaway and hot!
