CRISPY CAULIFLOWER FLORETS WITH CITRUS SALT

Steps:

• Fill a large pot half full with vegetable oil. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Toss in florets to coat.
• In a small bowl, mix together remaining salt, red pepper flakes and lemon zest. When oil is ready, remove half the florets from the batter and add to the oil. Cook until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain to paper towels. Sprinkle generously with seasoned salt. Repeat with second batch of florets. Serve immediately.

• Slice cauliflower into 1/2-inch "steaks". Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil and chipotle spice rub on top.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower; cook and stir until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, about 15 minutes.
• Place cauliflower steaks on a large serving platter; top with crisp kale and orange.
