Ingredients

The following ingredients have 35 Servings
  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (1/2 if you want it very spicy, leave out if you don't like spice)
  • 1 cup crispy gluten free panko bread crumbs (seasoned with salt and pepper OR brown rice cereal puffs crushed and seasoned*)
  • sesame seeds and chopped scallions (to garnish)
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos/low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (stirred together until cornstarch is dissolved)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking sheet or greased foil.
  • Remove florets from the cauliflower (aka don't use the stem). Chop the cauliflower into smaller pieces to resemble the size of bites.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the gluten free flour, almond milk, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl to make the batter.
  • In another separate bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Line it up beside the batter bowl.
  • Toss the cauliflower in the batter mixture one at a time, shaking off excess batter. Do not soak. Then, dip the cauliflower into the breadcrumbs to coat completely, then place onto the baking sheet. Repeat until all of the bites are coated.
  • Bake for 22 minutes. Please ensure your oven is completely preheated and hot. While baking, prepare the ingredients for the sauce (see below).
  • Remove from oven. Toss the bites in the sauce then using tongs or even just a large spoon, coating completely. Remove from pot and place back on the baking sheet. Bake for another 5 minutes for the sauce to soak into the bites.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately with sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Enjoy!
