Cauliflower Trials #1

Today is the starting point. From now on wards, my family and I have committed to a whole food, plant based diet. We have agreed to eat certain fish about twice a month. We agreed that our health is important and needs more attention. Our baby girl needs both her parents throughout her life. So, we have committed to being more food conscious and live a more physically active lifestyle.

Cauliflower Wings

1 Cauliflower Head

Hot Sauce (you could make this, but I didn’t)

Dr. Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (you could make this into a Sesame Sauce or BBQ. I’ll try that later)

2 sprigs of Cilantro

4 tsp and 1 tbsp Olive Oil

1/2 of a cup of Buckwheat Flour (this is gluten-free)

1/2 tbsp of Garlic Powder

1 bag of Ian’s Gluten Free Panko Breadcumbs

1/2 cup of Almond Milk

Recommendations:

  1. Try different flavors. Eventrually I’ll start to make my own sauces, but until then, this will have to work.

Directions

  1. Rinse the Cauliflower.
  2. Turn the oven on to 375
  3. Break the Cauliflower bunches off of the head.
  4. In a bowl, place the Cauliflower bunches in with 1 tbsp of oil. Stir carefully.
  5. Dump the flour into a bowl or bag and mix with the Cauliflower bunches.
  6. Put the Milk and Breadcrumbs into small bowls.
  7. Dip the Cauliflower into the Milk and then the breadcrumbs.
  8. Place all of the bunches on a pan (you should probably use parchment paper…).
  9. Place the pan into the oven.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes.
  11. In a bowl, combine desired amount of Hot Sauce with 2 tsp of oil.
  12. In a separate bowl, combine desired amount of Liquid Aminos with 2 tsp of oil.
  13. Remove pan from the oven.
  14. Dip desired amount of bunches in each sauce. Place back on the pan and return pan to the oven.
  15. Bake for 10 minutes.
  16. Remove from the oven.

Recommendations:

  1. You could broil the bunches at the end for added crispiness.

I did not do this the first time. I actually really screwed up my wings the first time. Even the second time. The third time was better, so I know the fourth time will go smoothly. Enjoy!
