BBQ CAULIFLOWER "WINGS"



BBQ Cauliflower

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking sheet
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 2- to 3-inch florets, stems reserved for another use
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Carrot and celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 cup water until completely incorporated and you have a thin batter. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat completely with the batter. Use tongs or a fork to remove the florets from the bowl, allowing excess batter to drip off. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the batter begins to set, about 10 minutes. Use tongs or a spatula to flip the florets and bake the other side until the batter looks completely dry, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, combine the barbecue sauce and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted.
  • When the cauliflower is done, use a pastry brush to completely coat the florets with the sauce. Bake again until the florets are crispy and the sauce is completely absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with carrot and celery sticks on the side.

Grilled Cauliflower Steaks image

Cutting cauliflower into "steaks" and grilling them not only gives a flavorful, caramelized, and smoky taste, the presentation is lovely! A delicious change from boring old steamed cauliflower! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes     Vegan

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
2 large heads cauliflower
2 tablespoons minced cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.
  • Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.
  • Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of the steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.
