Sticky Sesame Vegan Cauliflower Bites
Info
These Sticky Sesame Vegan Cauliflower Bites are the perfect finger food. Sweetened naturally with our Organic Maple Agave Syrup, we are certain they'll be a firm family favourite.
We bake our cauliflower bites rather than fry them, therefore they're a little more nutritious than their fried counterpart!
Ingredients
1 small head cauliflower
60g all purpose flour
125ml 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)
120g panko bread crumbs
For the Sauce:
4 tablespoons Biona Organic Agave maple syrup
2 tablespoons Biona Organic Tamari
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Chopped spring onions & sesame seeds, for garnish
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200c and grease a baking sheet.
- Remove the florets from the cauliflower and chop them into bite sized pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk all the batter ingredients together apart from the breadcrumbs. Place the breadcrumbs in a seperate bowl and put it next to the batter.
- Toss the cauliflower in the batter one at a time, shaking off any excess, be careful not to soak them. Then dip into the breadcrumbs to coat completely.
- Place on the baking sheet and repeat until they're all coated.
- Bake in the oven for 22 minutes. While these are baking, prepare the ingredients for the sauce by whisking them together.
- Remove from the oven and serve the bites with the sauce on the side.
- Alternatively you could coat the bites in the sauce and with a pastry brush, brush the sauce onto the bites. Bake for another 5 minutes for the sauce to soak into the bites.
