Cauliflower florets are breaded and baked before being tossed in an orange sesame sauce and broiled to golden deliciousness for a plant-based, gluten-free alternative!
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower medium
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs I used a gluten-free version
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs
Orange Sesame Sauce
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 orange, juiced
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger root or substitute 1 tsp jarred minced ginger
- 1.5 tsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Wash and dry cauliflower before chopping into florets.
- In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs together.
- In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup arrowroot starch, panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Using tongs, coat the cauliflower florets in the egg wash before coating in the panko mixture, shaking off any excess before placing on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat with all of the cauliflower florets. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, flip the cauliflower florets and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the Orange Sesame Sauce in a large bowl.
- Add cauliflower florets to the bowl with the sauce, stirring to coat.
- Turn oven to broil on high.
- Place cauliflower back on the baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes until crispy. Keep an eye on it so they do not burn!
