Deep Fried Broccoli
Per serving
This recipe was originally written for cauliflower, but I had just purchased a mixed bag of fresh broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower and decided to try it with the broccoli and cauliflowerl. I liked the cauliflower but fell in love with the broccoli so here it is for safe keeping. Like the saying goes, just about anything fried is good, and this is good!
