Recipes Cookbook - Crispy Lemon Cauliflower Recipe

Crispy Lemon Cauliflower Recipe | #Vegetablesidedishes #Rawveganrecipes #Veganpestosauce #Sidedishesforbbq #Mexicansidedishes #Ketocauliflowerrecipes #Asparagusrecipes #Veganstirfrynoodles #Breadedasparagusbaked #Ricenoodlerecipesvegan #Sesamegarlicnoodles #Vegannoodlesasian

Ingredients
  • 1/2 large head cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup fine cornmeal or flour
  • 1-2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, regular or gf
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp powdered ginger
  • 2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot
  • lemon zest, optional for garnish
Instructions
  1. Finely crush breadcrumbs, either in a blender (easiest method) or by placing them in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin or heavy object. 
  2. Preheat oven to 425 F. 
  3. Cut cauliflower into florets. Whisk milk, cornmeal, and oil, then toss with the cauliflower in a large ziploc. 
  4. Put the cauliflower in a colander to drain off excess batter. Toss with the breadcrumbs. Arrange in one layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  5. Bake 35-40 minutes. Meanwhile, make the lemon sauce by whisking together all remaining ingredients except cornstarch. 
  6. Then quickly whisk in cornstarch. Turn heat to medium. Stir frequently – it thickens pretty quickly. 
  7. Remove cauliflower from oven and stir into the sauce. (If you wish to omit the oil, feel free to experiment. I have not tried and so can’t say how it would affect taste/texture.)

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil , or canola
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • Salted Caramel Sauce
  • 1 cup white sugar

  • Caramel Frosting
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter , softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoons cream , as needed






Instructions

  1. Chocolate Cupcakes :
  2. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line a muffin pan with muffin papers.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder & salt.
  4. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract (about 1 minutes). Carefully beat in the buttermilk.
  5. Mix in the flour mixture about 1/2 at a time, turning off the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl in between.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, carefully beat in the boiling water.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the tops feel slightly firm to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Salted Caramel Sauce :
  10. Add the sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  11. Heat the sugar while whisking constantly. After a while it will form lumps - then turn into a smooth amber colored liquid.
  12. Gently whisk the mixture until it's smooth and dark amber color. Be careful or else your caramel can burn.
  13. Carefully whisk in the chopped butter until it's fully melted (it will bubble up).
  14. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the whipping cream.
  15. Then stir in the vanilla extract & salt.
  16. Caramel Frosting :
  17. In a large bowl beat the butter until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  18. Beat in 2 cups of powdered sugar, starting with the mixer on low and then turning it up to medium as it incorporates.
  19. Mix in 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (you won't need all that you made). It must be 100% cooled before adding it into the frosting.
  20. Beat in the remaining powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with 1 tablespoon of cream until the desired sweetness and consistency is reached.
  21. Frost the cupcakes using a knife or a piping bag (I used a 1M tip). Optionally, drizzle each cupcake with more salted caramel sauce.
