Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower mine was small-medium-ish size, head
Batter
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup flour I used half whole wheat + half white, (use 1/2 cup chickpea flour + 1/4 cup or more rice flour to make gf, 2 tbsp
- 3/4 to 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder or cayenne
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or cayenne
- black pepper a very generous dash
- 2 tsp neutral cooking oil optional, generic cooking oil
Mango Sriracha Glaze
- 1 cup mango jam or use orange marmalade or grape jelly for variations, or preserves
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce or to taste :)
- 1 Tbsp hot sauce I used Frank's red hot, or more, or to taste
- 1/4 cup orange juice more juice if you like a thinner glaze, or apple juice
- garlic powder a generous pinch
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F / 230ºc. Chop the cauliflower into 1.5-2 inch pieces. Mix everything under batter in a bowl until smooth and thick enough batter that can coat the cauliflower pieces well.(add more flour if needed). Dip cauliflower in the batter and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Line the sheet with parchment or grease very well. Bake for 20 minutes.
Cup of Yum
Glaze
- In a pan, mix all the ingredients under glaze and heat on medium. Taste and adjust spice, sweet and tang if needed(add sugar or vinegar for extra sweet or tang). You can also use fresh or frozen ripe mango puree + maple/sugar instead of preserves(as suggested by some readers who made these already). Once the glaze is hot, taste and adjust spice + sweet. add the baked cauliflower to it. Toss well to coat carefully and let the glaze come to a boil. 1-2 minutes. You can use a large pan that can fit all the florets or do 2 batches. do not toss/move the florets too much. Remove from pan and Serve hot as is, or with rice/grains or with any creamy cool dips like vegan ranch. Alternatively, bring the sauce ingredients to a boil and pour over the baked cauliflower, mix to coat and serve.
Notes
- Variations: Use grape jelly or Orange preserves. Add a 1/4 cup ketchup to the glaze.Use Barbecue sauce or sweet and sour sauce.To make buffalo wings, mix in enough hot sauce with melted vegan butter or oil (2:1 ratio) and toss the baked cauliflower in it, bake for a few minutes and serve.
