Ingredients
Crispy Cauliflower Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite size florets
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1¼ cup plain unsweetened plant based milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup gluten free panko bread crumbs
Sweet and Sour Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup rice vinegar
- ⅔ cup pineapple juice
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
Stir Fry Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
To Serve
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 cup jasmine rice, cooked
Method
- Preheat oven to 425 and line 2 large metal baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, milk, garlic, onion powder, and sea salt to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. It should be just a touch thinner than pancake batter. If it feels too thick, add a bit more milk 1 tbsp at a time.
- Add the cauliflower florets and gently use a rubber spatula to coat. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and gently stir again. One by one, use a fork to transfer the cauliflower florets to the baking sheets, spacing at least 1" apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- Meanwhile, combine the tomato paste, sriracha, coconut aminos, maple syrup, rice vinegar, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, and sea salt in a jar and whisk to combine. Transfer to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Combine the water and arrowroot powder to make a slurry and slowly add to the sauce while stirring. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat and add in the peppers and onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Add in the cauliflower florets and sauce, reduce heat to low, and gently fold to coat.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion and serve hot over rice.
