Ingredients:
- Cauliflower Pops:
- 650 g cauliflower florets (from 2 medium heads)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or other flour), plus more as needed
- Neutral oil for frying
- For Serving:
- Chopped basil for garnish

Instructions:
- Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, minced garlic, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
- Coat the Cauliflower:
- Add the all-purpose flour to the bowl, tossing the cauliflower until each floret is evenly coated. Add more flour if needed to ensure a good coating.
- Fry the Cauliflower:
