Baked Cauliflower Bites

  • One head of broken into small florets
  • Flour
  • Turmeric
  • Chili powder
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Sesame seeds
  • Parsley
  • Salt and pepper
  • BBQ sauce

Blanch the florets in boiling for 5 minutes – rinse in cold water – drain thoroughly. Set aside.

Gradually add small amount of water to the flour and spices to make a light batter – about 1/2 cup flour and spices to taste. Spices can be substituted according to personal preference.

Dip the cauliflower in the batter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, salt, pepper, and parsley. Spray a foil-covered baking tray with pan spray, and place cauliflower in a single layer. Bake @350° for 15 minutes. Flip the florets, brush with BBQ sauce and bake an additional 8-10 minutes, or until crispy.

This recipe would work well in an air fryer or a convection oven – set convection 25° lower.

Great as an appetizer. Or, can be served with rice … very tasty either way!
