Oil-Free Sticky Sesame Cauliflower
Ingredients
Batter
- 1 small-medium cauliflower (about 3 cups florets)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
Sauce
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1/4 cup apricot fruit jam (or similar flavor)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
Optional toppings
- toasted sesame seeds
Preparation
Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, and salt.
Slowly add the non-dairy milk while stirring to make a batter.
Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and mix to coat.
Transfer the coated cauliflower to a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes or until starting to turn golden.
Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispness.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing the minced garlic, apricot fruit jam, and soy sauce or tamari.
Heat the sauce in a small-medium skillet.
Add the baked cauliflower to the sauce and gently mix until coated and warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately, topped with toasted sesame seeds.
