THE BEST CAULIFLOWER EVER

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the cauliflower begins to brown and soften, about 12 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
• While the cauliflower is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute until softened, 1 minute. Add the roasted red pepper and saute for another few minutes, until heated through. Transfer to a blender or mini-chopper and blend. Add the tofu and some salt and pepper and puree until smooth.
• Add the puree and the red pepper flakes to the cauliflower and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and cook another minute. Transfer the cauliflower to a serving dish and serve.

CHICKEN FRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400F and roast cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning after 15 mins.
• Remove cauliflower from the oven and set aside to cool.
• in a medium-size bowl, whisk together egg replacer, soy milk, and vinegar and set aside for a min of 5mins.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, nutritional yeast, paprika, sea salt, garlic salt, onion powder, and white pepper. Set aside.
• Place a wire cooling rack over a baking sheet.
• Transfer a few pieces of cauliflower into the seasoned flour, coat them completely and shake off the excess. Place onto the wire rack, and repeat.
• Now, add the rice cereal to the seasoned flour, and crush half with your hands.
• Now, let's dredge, dip each flour-coated floret into the soy milk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat in the seasoned flour with rice cereal, patting the rice onto the floret to help it stick, and place back onto the wire rack, repeat.
• To cook, you can use a deep fryer, a deep pan, or an oven. Frying will yield the crispiest, most flavourful cauliflower. It is the preferred method.
• If using a deep fryer, heat frying oil (I like peanut or vegetable) to 325-350F.
• If using a deep pan: pour enough vegetable oil to measure 3 inches inside the pan. Cover with a lid and heat the oil over medium-high heat.
• In batches, fry a handful of cauliflower in the hot oil at a time. Do not crowd or else the temperature will drop too much.
• Fry until golden brown and crispy in about 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally.
• If you are using a deep fryer: lower into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy about 3-4 mins.
• Remove cauliflower from oil and place back onto the tray, so that excess oil can drip from the cauliflower. Repeat.
• If using an oven: Place the coated cauliflower on a lined baking sheet and spray them generously with a cooking oil spray like coconut oil, or Pam. Bake them at 425F for 30 minutes, flipping at 15 mins.
• If using an air fryer, spray the air fryer basket with oil or cooking spray, place in a single layer, and spray them generously with the cooking spray. Cook on 375 F for 10 minutes. Flipping halfway through.
• Serve fried cauliflower with a sauce of choice to dip or toss in sauce, and serve with pickles, biscuits, roasted veg or macaroni salad on the side.
