Holy cow, guys! This cauliflower is AMAZING!!! It’s no secret that I am constantly trying to make vegetables taste good…well, I’ve outdone myself with this stuff! It is SO delicious! Oh, and as usual it’s gluten free! I could seriously live on this stuff!
This makes a perfect side dish, or as a larger portion, a light lunch! The fact that cauliflower is the main ingredient in this gives it so many health benefits, such as follows:
- Reduces cancer risk
- Fights inflammation
- Helps brain and heart health
- Packed with vitamins and minerals
- Aids in detox and digestion
- Helps balance hormones
- Preserves eye health
Also, wether you eat this as a meal or as a side dish, it’s a great way to get in a few servings of veggies! I’m not kidding when I say I could eat this day and night! It’s also quite easy to put together, even though it tastes like you really had to put some work into it!
HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 1/3 cup brown rice flour
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. garlic granules
- 2 tsp. arrowroot powder
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. water, divided
- sea salt and pepper
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Directions
1.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Chop your cauliflower into bite size florets. Place in a bag with the brown rice flour and shake to coat. Set aside.
2.) Place the oats in a food processor and process until the oats have the consistency of bread crumbs.
3.) Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with 2 Tbsp. of water. Place the processed oats into a bowl. Dip the cauliflower into the egg, then roll in the oats to coat and place the cauliflower florets on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Season with sea salt and pepper, and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
4.) While the cauliflower is baking, Place the arrowroot powder and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and stir until completely combined. Set aside. Heat the honey, garlic granules, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar in a small sauce pan until it starts to simmer. Add the arrowroot and water mixture and stir continually until the sauce reaches your desired thickness (it will have the consistency of melted caramel).
5.) Take the cauliflower out of the oven and change the temperature to broil. Place the cauliflower in a container that has a cover. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower, put the lid on the container, and shake to coat completely. Put the cauliflower back on the baking sheet and place back in the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes.
6.) Take the cauliflower out of the oven, and transfer to bowls or plates. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and add sea salt and pepper, to taste.
