TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together rice flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, and almond milk until you have a smooth batter. If it appears too thick, whisk in a few more tablespoons of almond milk.
3
Add the bite-sized cauliflower florets to the bowl and carefully mix them into the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
4
Place the coated cauliflower bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
STICKY SESAME GLAZE
5
While the cauliflower bakes, during the last 5-10 minutes, prepare the sauce. In a sauté pan, heat vegetable oil and add minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
6
Whisk in toasted sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, maple syrup, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat.
7
In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water. Pour into the sauce pan and allow the sauce to thicken over low heat, whisking occasionally to prevent clumps from forming.
ASSEMBLY
8
Once your cauliflower bites have finished baking, let them cool for about 5 minutes.
9
Coat the cauliflower bites with the thickened Sticky Sesame Glaze.
10
Optionally, return the glazed cauliflower bites to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp them up.
11
Garnish with chopped chives and sesame seeds before serving.
