If you haven’t already figured it out, I’m kind of obsessed with my Deep Fryer. I’ve already fried all of the normal things like wings, chicken nuggets, and shrimp. Now in order to feed the itch I’ve got to get creative. This fry-day I’ll show how to deep fry Broccoli! I couldn’t believe how well this worked out. Each sprout exploded with flavor almost like a popcorn kernel!Start with a fresh bunch of broccoli.Chop off the base and separate out just the florets.Throw ’em in the basket and prepare to be amazed!Here’s a closeup of the broccoli floret. Each sprout is now a tasty explosion of awesomeness!I served them with a spicy bleu cheese sauce.

DeLonghi Deep Fryer If you follow the blog, you know that I’ve gotten a little obsessed lately with my Deep Fryer to the point where I post a weekly Fry-day article. I had one of these in college and it always made me feel guilty using it. I feel so liberated that there are all sorts of keto friendly fried foods like nuggets, wings and brussels sprouts! |
Cone Filters, 50 Pack To keep your frying oil clean, you really need to filter it on a regular basis. Fryers will come with one or two filters in the kit but they run out fast. This 50 pack will keep you going for well over a year |
Filter Stand Use this stand in conjunction with standard cone filters to easily filter your oil. This system is in place of the filtering method that comes with your fryer. |
Just wanted to thank you, I bought the same fryer you use and am loving using leaf lard as the oil. I highly recommend trying celery root as french fries, it’s great.
Good suggestion, I’ll have to try it!
I bought the same fryer you have and I’m loving it so far! Your buffalo wings are to die for. Quick question: at what temperature did you fry these florets?
I pretty much fry everything on the max of that fryer which I believe is 370.
Love your recipes!! Do you use the oil/lard multiple times with this fryer? I’ve never used lard before and am not sure how it holds up to reusing it. Thanks!!
Yes, I filter it out and then store it in the fridge, then I do reuse it a couple of times till its spent. Normally I try and fry clean stuff first to get more use out of the lard. Like if you fry a keto breading it will likely decrease the usage of the lard a bit.
What type of oil in your fryer?
Leaf Lard!
