Here's another baked savory snack which is vegetarian, gluten-free and sugar-free. This is adapted from a Forks Over Knives recipe, with some quicknhealthy changes :-). This recipe needs to be served immediately and hence not ideal for a pot luck or for making ahead. I still need to figure out how to break down the prep/cooking process so that we can make this ahead of time. As soon as I figure it out, I will update it here. If anyone has suggestions, please comment below. Having said that, I suggest you have this fresh and it is just awesome.
Ingredients:
- Large head of cauliflower - 1
- Rice flour - 2/3rd cup (white or brown works fine)
- Almond powder - 2 Tbsp
- Tomato - 1 small
- Garlic - 2 cloves
- Paprika - 2 tsp
- Homemade Sriracha/ hot sauce - 1/3rd cup
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 deg F
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Blend rice flour, almond powder, tomato, garlic and paprika with 2/3rd cup of water into a thick smooth paste
- Cut cauliflower into 2-inch florets.Toss them with the paste to coat evenly.
- Arrange in baking trays.
- Bake at 450 oven for 25 minutes
- Take out and keep for 3 more minutes before adding the Sriracha or hot sauce.
