Vegan Crispy Cauliflower Bites
These vegan crispy cauliflower bites are the healthy plant-based replacement for hot wings and chicken nuggets. Try them once and you'll definitely come for more.
Ingredients
- 5-600 g cauliflower florets rinsed and drained
- 100 g all purpose flour
- 200 ml unsweetened soy milk or oat milk
- 200 g cornflakes
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp chili powder or to taste
- ½ tsp turmeric optional (for color)
Instructions
- Put the cornflakes into a food processor and lightly pulse until they break (not completely);
- Preheat the oven at 190° C and line a large baking tray with parchment paper;
- In a large bowl, mix well flour, milk, salt, chili, and turmeric;
- Add in half of the crushed cornflakes and give a quick stir;
- Dump a handful of cauliflower florets into the batter and stir so they are evenly coated;
- Use tongs or two forks to take out the florets; shake off the excess batter and put them into the baking tray; proceed the same with the remained florets;
- Sprinkle the remained cornflakes over the coated florets;
- Place the tray into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until they turn golden brown;
- Remove the cauliflower bites from the oven and serve with your favorite sauces while they're hot.
Notes
- Be sure there's enough space between the florets in the tray, otherwise they won't be crispy enough.
- The baking time depends on how big the cauliflower florets are; also be sure to cut the cauliflower into equally sized florets so they cook at the same time.
