Cauliflower Buffalo Bites

 

These are baked. I needed a lot of space to spread all the cauliflower out so this was easier to do it all at once. If I have more time one day, I'll try this in an air fryer to make it crispier. This is yummy and I’ve made it a few times already.

Here’s how I made it.

Ingredients:

• 1 cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces 
• Extra oil for spraying
  

 Batter Ingredients:

• 1/2 c flour of choice (I used tapioca)
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup water

Buffalo sauce ingredients:

• 1/2 cup hot sauce (I used Frank’s)
• Dash of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 Tablespoons salted butter
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees farenheit.
   
2. Prepare ingredients as listed above (cut, chop).
3. Make the batter.  Combine all dry ingredients (flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt) and whisk.  Add water and whisk in well.
4. Toss cauliflower in the batter, drain excess batter, and spread evenly on baking pan lined with parchment paper.
5. Spray with oil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
6. Make buffalo sauce. Combine buffalo sauce ingredients in small saucepan.  Heat through and mix.
7. Toss cauliflower in buffalo sauce and return to oven for another 20-35 minutes.
8. Serve with sides of your choice such as carrots, celery, and ranch dressing.
9. Enjoy!

Spinach Side Dish

 

I used Maangchi’s recipe for this dish.  I made an entire Costco-size bag worth of spinach, so I doubled the recipe. I did a couple things differently - crush the sesame seeds and add some red chili flakes. Thank you @maangchi 

Ingredients:

• spinach
• sesame seeds
• sesame oil
• soy sauce
• green onions
• red chili flakes (a dash)

Veggie Fritters

 

These veggie fritters turned out pretty good and I would definitely make them again.  I found a recipe for how to make fritters out of any vegetable.  I used cabbage, carrots, onions garlic in mine. I actually prepared too much vegetables for the recipe and needed to adjust and add more ingredients to bind it.  Nevertheless, it was delicious and held together just fine.

Here is the link to the recipe: https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-fritters-out-of-any-vegetable-231408

After this, I tried a version with sauteing the vegetables prior to creating the patties and using hummus instead of chickpea flour.  My thought was that it would be easier for the vegetables to hold in a patty shape and that the hummus would be easier to mix.  That version was edible, but not as good.  It was a bit too mushy for my liking and the hummus was not binding.  I had to add chickpea flour to make it work.
