These cauliflower bites are crispy on the outside, and meltingly tender in the middle. Great as a side dish or addition to any party platter, but they are particularly awesome as a "chicken wing alternative". But trust us, even meat-lovers gravitate toward these melt-in-your mouth, crispy cauliflower bites. Be sure to finish with a drizzle of our Sticky Balsamic for that extra wow!

Ingredients
-
1 Head of Cauliflower, broken down to florets
-
1 Cup Almond Milk (or any "Milk")
-
2 Tablespoons Garlic EVOO
-
1 Cup Flour (we used Bobs Red Mill 1-1 Gluten Free)
-
1/4 Cup Corn Meal
-
1 Pinch Salt, Pepper, and Paprika
-
1 Cup Marsala EVOO
-
Sticky Balsamic (for finishing)
Directions
Soak florets in almond milk and Garlic EVOO mixing ocassionally
Combine GF Flour, Corn Meal, and Seasoning in a mixing bowl
Place 2-5 florets from the liquid into the flour ensuring to drain off excess liquid
Remove from flour and place on baking sheet lined with parchment
Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes to set the crust and begin cooking cauliflower
Heat 1 Cup of Marsala EVOO in a frying pan to 350 F
Remove florets from the oven and finish in oil until golden brown
Cool on a wire rack for best results or back on the baking sheet used to bake (Pro-Tip: Add a pinch of salt as they come out of the hot oil)
Drizzle with Sticky Balsamic for a sweet zing of flavor
