We know, we know, frying cauliflower kinda defeats the purpose of it being a vegetable and all, but it's SO DAMN DELICIOUS. We took note of how chicken fried steak is prepared and modeled this recipe after that. (Vegetarians, we see you, and you're welcome.)

Directions Make fried cauliflower: In a large deep-sided skillet, add sliced cauliflower and enough water to come halfway up the sides of cauliflower. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and let cool completely. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, and paprika and season with salt. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Toss cooled cauliflower in flour mixture, then eggs, then return to flour mixture and toss again until completely coated. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1" oil until it starts to bubble and looks shimmery. Carefully add cauliflower and fry until deeply golden, 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel–lined plate. Make hot honey: In a small bowl, mix together honey and hot sauce. Serve fried cauliflower with hot honey.
