This is a simple recipe that we adapted from Jessica in the Kitchen - one of our favorite vegan cooks/influencers.

We have only 3 additions: 

  • Pure Grit Rub to the batter

  • Room temp unsweetened almond milk that we curdle with a tablespoon of lemon juice

  • Pure Grit BBQ sauce mixed with our hot sauce and a dash of cayenne pepper to taste

Ingredients.

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower

  • ¾ cup gluten-free flour (or any you like)

  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch

  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (room temperature)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup gluten-free bread crumbs (or any you like)

  • 1 tablespoon Pure Grit Rub

  • 1 ½ cup Pure Grit BBQ Sauce

  • 3 tablespoon Pure Grit Hot Sauce

  • ¼ cup of water

  • A dash of cayenne pepper to taste

 

Steps.

  • Preheat the oven to 450° F.

  • Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Cut cauliflower into pieces - try to keep some of the stalk so there is something to grip like a chicken wing. 

  • In bowl or cup add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to ¾ cup almond milk and let rest 10 minutes

  • In a separate bowl mix ¾ cup flour, 3 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper pepper, ½ teaspoon pepper garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon rub.

  • Once mixed, pour in the almond milk mixture. At this point you may need to thin it out. Add a few extra tablespoons of almond milk.

  • Dump cauliflower pieces into the batter and coat completely.

  • Pick up individually and drop into a bowl with bread crumbs. Do in batches of 3 and often sprinkle with more breadcrumbs. Once coated, use tongs to transfer to the baking sheet. 

  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Meanwhile, whisk together your BBQ mixture - 1 ½ cup BBQ sauce, 3 tablespoon hot sauce, ¼ cup water, and cayenne to taste.

  • When cauliflower is done, warm up the BBQ mixture in the microwave for about 1 minute.

  • Toss cauliflower in BBQ sauce and then place back on the baking sheet and pop back in the oven for 5 more minutes.

  • Serve alone or with a dip.
