Recipe type: Side Dish
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4, as a side
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1½ tbsp deodorized coconut, vegetable, or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp corn, arrowroot, or tapioca starch
- 1 tsp ground cumin + extra to garnish
- ¼ tsp Sea salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Lemon wedge, to garnish
- My tahini sauce recipe or plain tahini to drizzle & dip
Instructions
- Place cauliflower into a large bowl.
- Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with starch of choice, cumin, and ¼ tsp salt. Toss to coat completely.
- To get fried cauliflower bites, place the cauliflower in the air-fryer at 400F, be sure not to crowd, and air-fry for 20-25 mins, or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking every 10 mins or so.
- If you don't have an air fryer, heat oven to 425, and place cauliflower on a lined baking tray. Bake cauliflower for 15, toss and then bake for another 10 mins. To get them cripsy, turn the oven to broil and with the oven door open, broil for 3 mins, or until you get some charred pieces, tossing once. Again, an airfryer would be the easiest and my preferred method.
- Remove caulforlower from the air fryer or oven and sprinkle with salt, a pinch of cumin, parsley, and a drizzle of my tahini sauce. Serve with a lemon wedge and additional tahini sauce on the side.
