Healthy fried food is not an oxymoron.  Everyone likes something crispy, crunchy golden brown

Proper frying can seal in all the tasty and nutritional goodness.  Proper frying means a healhy choice in oils.  (Put down the lard.)  It also means frying at 375 and frying in batches so the oil temperature does not drop to low.

Drain on a rack rather then on paper towels so the crispy, crunchy golden brown item isn't sitting in grease.

If you follow these tops the right temperature and don't crowd the pot -you can enjoy fried food (in moderation of course.)

A favorite in many cultures is fried cauliflower.  Some people coat it in a batter  or uses breadcrumbs  but neither are really necessary.  Simply divide the cauliflower into bitesize florettes and par boil them -drain and dry well and then pop them into the fat.  They are great hot or cold. 

They are popular in many Middle Eastern countries served with a tahini dipping sauce.

Get over your fear of frying!
