Ingredients

BBQ Cauliflower

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into large florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose or gf flour
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or GF breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup bbq sauce

Cabbage Slaw

  • ½ head of red cabbage, shaved
  • 1 carrot, peeled into strips
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayonaise such as Vegenaise
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Other Additions

  • 1 ½ cup brown rice, cooked
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and spices. Stir in water until a smooth batter forms. Pour breadcrumbs into a separate bowl. One-by-one, dunk the cauliflower into the wet mixture. Shake off any excess. Roll in breadcrumbs and transfer to the baking sheet. Bake cauliflower for 15 min. until golden brown.

  3. While cauliflower is baking, prepare the slaw. Toss together shaved cabbage and carrot ribbons with mayo and paprika in a bowl. Adjust taste with salt and pepper.

  4. Add cauliflower to a large bowl. Pour over bbq sauce and carefully stir to coat cauliflower.

  5. Serve bbq cauliflower over brown rice with cabbage slaw. Top with fresh cilantro and a dash of red pepper flakes.
