BAKED PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place mayonnaise in a large zip-top bag. Add cauliflower; seal bag and shake to coat.
• Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in another large zip-top bag. Add 1/2 of the coated cauliflower; seal bag and shake to coat. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cauliflower and bread crumb mixture.
• Bake in the preheated until tender and golden brown, about 35 minutes.

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES

Steps:

• Spray the basket of a 6-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside.
• Arrange the cauliflower on a baking sheet and set up a breading station next to it: Fill one shallow bowl with the Parmesan breadcrumbs, another shallow bowl with the panko breadcrumbs and third shallow bowl with the eggs and milk. Whisk together the eggs and milk together until combined.
• Working with several cauliflower florets at a time, roll them in the egg mixture until fully coated, shake off excess egg, then roll them in the Parmesan breadcrumbs until fully coated. Roll them in the egg mixture a second time, shaking off excess egg, and finally, roll them in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated. Transfer the breaded pieces back to the baking sheet. Repeat until all the cauliflower florets are breaded.
• Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
• Pick up each cauliflower floret and spray it all over with nonstick spray, making sure to coat every nook and cranny. Arrange some of the florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket without touching (you will probably have to work in two batches). Air fry the florets, flipping them once, until golden and crispy, about 12 minutes. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Air fry the remaining cauliflower.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large, shallow microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss to combine with the hot sauce until fully coated.
• For the crispiest results, serve the bites immediately sprinkled with chives with the dressing alongside. As the bites sit, they'll become slightly less crispy, just like wings, but they'll still be just as tasty.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER BITES

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the cauliflower, olive oil, garlic and salt in a large bowl. Place in an ovenproof skillet or rimmed baking sheet and roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes.
• For the saffron beurre blanc: Combine the white wine, cream, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in a medium skillet over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer, then add the salt and saffron. Slowly whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to emulsify into a sauce. Pour the sauce through a strainer and set aside.
• Arrange the roasted cauliflower on a platter. Place the cilantro around the cauliflower. Dot with sriracha (more or less to your taste). Drizzle with a few tablespoons beurre blanc (extra beurre blanc will keep in the refrigerator up to 2 days).

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES

Steps:

• Buffalo Sauce: Melt coconut oil in small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in hot sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar until combined. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm; set aside.
• For the Cauliflower: Line platter with multiple layers of paper towels. Add oil to large Dutch (about 6 quart and cast iron works great) oven until it measures about 1 1/2 inches deep and heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. While oil heats, combine cornstarch, cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Whisk coconut milk and hot sauce together in large bowl. Add cauliflower; toss to coat well. Sprinkle cornstarch mixture over cauliflower; fold with rubber spatula until thoroughly coated.
• Fry half of cauliflower, adding 1 or 2 pieces to oil at a time, until golden and crisp, gently stirring as needed to prevent pieces from sticking together, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fried cauliflower to the paper-lined platter.
• Return oil to 400 degrees and repeat with remaining cauliflower. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to clean large bowl, add fried cauliflower and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately with dressing and remaining sauce.
