Sticky Sesame Cauliflower
Ingredients:
For the cauliflower:
1 medium-sized head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
1 1/3 cup cassava flour
1 1/2 cups water, more if needed
1/2 tsp sea salt (optional)
For the sauce:
1/2 cup coconut aminos
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 tbsp arrowroot flour
1/2 cup water or vegetable broth, more if needed
2 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish
2 tbsp chopped green onions, for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, water and sea salt (if using). The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower. If it's too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.
Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss until well coated. Using a fork, transfer the bat-tered cauliflower to the baking sheet, shaking off the excess batter. Leave at least 1 inch between each piece.
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until crisp. Flip the cauliflower pieces over halfway through.
To make the sauce, add the coconut aminos, maple syrup, sesame oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, garlic and ginger to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk to combine and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot flour and water/vegetable broth. Pour into the sauce and cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens up and becomes sticky, about 3-5 minutes. If the sauce is very thick then add a bit more water.
Add the baked cauliflower and toss to coat. Remove from heat and place on a serving plate or platter, then top with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Serves 3-4

- 1/2 cup amaranth seeds
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
- 1/2 shredded onion
- 1 15 oz can white beans (cannellini or great northern), or 1 1/2 cups cooked
- 1 tbsp salsa (your favorite)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 cup cornmeal or breadcrumbs (gluten free, if necessary)
- 1/4 cup flaxmeal
- Extra Salsa and Vegan Sour Cream for serving , if desired.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a pot on the stove, place the amaranth and vegetables stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer, uncovered, until the water is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, place white beans in a large bowl and smash with a potato masher or fork until mostly broken down (a few whole beans left is fine).
- Add all remaining ingredients to the white beans, including the amaranth once it's cooked and cooled enough to handle. Mix well.
- Form into patties (I like them on the smaller side - about 3 inches in diameter and less than 1/2 inch thick) and place onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake 20 minutes, flip the patties over and bake another 10 minutes until crispy on both sides.
- Serve with salsa and vegan sour cream, if using.
~You can dice the onion small instead of shredding if you wish. For convenience, I stuck it in the food processor (fitted with the shredding blade) at the same time I shredded the zucchini. Easy!
