orange cauliflower

Orange Cauliflower is a vegetarian version of the popular Chinese orange chicken! And honestly, you won&#x27;t miss the meat at all. The sticky orange sauce is incredibly addicting, and the cauliflower is baked, not fried.

Orange Cauliflower

cauliflower (about 5 cups)

water

flour (see notes for gluten free)

garlic powder

salt

panko breadcrumbs (see notes

orange juice, fresh squeezed preferred

granulated sugar (see notes for substitutions)

rice vinegar

soy sauce (or tamari

ginger

garlic cloves, garlic powder

Sriracha hot sauce

cornstarch

rice

chopped green onions

sesame seeds

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash and cut cauliflower into bite sized pieces.

In a large bowl, add water, flour, garlic powder and salt. Whisk until well combined. Place the breadcrumbs in a medium sized bowl and set it next to the wet batter bowl. Also place your baking sheet nearby.

Add the cauliflower to the bowl with the wet batter and toss to combine, coating all the pieces well.

One by one, remove a cauliflower piece, tapping any excess batter off, and roll in the breadcrumbs to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet and make sure they are not touching each other, or they will all get stuck together as they bake.

Bake for about 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Roasted Crispy Cauliflower

In a large pan (large enough to fit the cauliflower and sauce), add all sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil, and cook for a minute or two.

Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to combine, and then add to the pot. Stir over medium-high heat constantly for a couple of minutes, until the sauce thickens.

Sticky Orange Sauce

Once the cauliflower is done, add it to the pan with the orange sauce and stir to coat. There won&#x27;t be a lot of extra sauce; if you want more double the sauce.

Serve over brown or white rice. Sprinkle with green onions and/or sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!

To Finish

This Sticky Orange Cauliflower recipe tastes like takeout, with a crispy baked coating and flavor packed Asian-style sauce (ready in 30 minutes).

Baked Sesame Orange Cauliflower (30 Minutes!)

cauliflower

flour (60 g)

eggs (whisked)

panko breadcrumbs (50 g)

salt and pepper

Tbsp sesame oil (15 mL)

garlic (minced)

orange juice (160 mL)

rice vinegar (60 mL)

honey (60 mL)

Tbsp soy sauce (30 mL)

Tbsp orange zest

Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Arrange workspace, placing flour, egg, and panko in separate bowls. Mix salt and pepper into panko.

Shake &amp; Bake: Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Working in batches, coat the florets in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crispy.

Sauce: Set a small saucepan over medium heat and add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant, then add remaining “Sauce” ingredients except the cornstarch mixture. Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer. While whisking, slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture. It should thicken quite quickly; if not, continue simmering until thick.

Assemble: Drizzle sauce over the baked cauliflower and gently toss to evenly coat. Serve cauliflower over warm rice.
