talimatlar
- Preheat oven to 410°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper. Set aside.
Prepare the Cauliflower
- Cut the cauliflower into 1.5-inch florets (3 cm).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the coating ingredients: almond milk, flour, garlic powder, ginger, orange zest, and salt.
- Add the cauliflower florets one by one into the flour mixture to coat entirely and wait for a few seconds above the bowl to let excess return to the bowl.
- For crispy edges, you can optionally roll each floret into panko crumbs.
- Lay the florets onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, making sure they don't touch each other or overlap.
- Spray cooking all on the florets.
- Bake on the center rack for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway and sprinkling more Panko crumbs on the other side if desired. Meanwhile, prepare the curry sauce.
Portakal Sos
- Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Over medium heat, melt coconut oil, then stir in garlic and ginger and cook over low heat to prevent the garlic from burning. Cook until fragrant for about 1 minute.
- Add orange juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Bring to a light simmer, occasionally stirring, until the sugar dissolves – about 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk water and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry into the hot orange sauce and keep simmering, occasionally stirring, until the sauce thickens – about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Toss the crispy cauliflower in the sauce until coated.
- Serve over cooked coconut jasmine rice and garnish with scallions pieces or chili flakes to add a spicy touch.
Depolama
- Store in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days or freeze up to 3 months.

How To Make Orange Cauliflower
It’s very easy to make this recipe but it takes a bit of preparation because there are many ingredients involved. But overall, no need to be an expert cook to master this delicious dinner.
- First, clean the cauliflower head and remove its feet and green leaves. Discard and compost these parts.
- Next, using a small sharp knife, cut the cauliflower into 1.5-inch florets (3cm). Set them aside in a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 410°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- In another bowl, prepare the coating: sit flour, almond milk, salt, ginger, orange zest, and garlic powder. Next, place the panko crumb in a separate bowl.
- Dip each cauliflower floret using two forks, one at a time, into the milk flour mixture. Wait for a few seconds above the bowl to let the extra run down the bowl.
- Then roll them into the panko crumb and place the florets on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the florets have been coated.
- Spray cooking oil spray onto the florets and bake them for 30 minutes or until golden brown. You can shake the tray halfway and spray some extra oil to ensure the breadcrumb crisp well on all sides.
- Ten minutes before the cauliflower is fully baked, start the sauce. In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat warm oil and cook garlic then add all the remaining ingredients. Whisk and cook on low medium heat until the sauce is bubbly and thick.
- Remove the cauliflower florets from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool down lightly. Then, place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the orange sauce on top of the crumbed cauliflower florets and toss them to coat them evenly.
Servis
Serve the orange cauliflower with:
- Jasmine Rice or try my Coconut Jasmine Rice for an extra boost of flavor

Depolama talimatları

Thaw in the fridge and rewarm in a microwave-safe bowl or over the stove over medium heat.
Alerji Değişimleri
If you have food allergies, try some of the options below to adapt the recipe.
- Gluten-Free – Use all-purpose gluten-free flour to coat the florets. Next, pick wheat-free soy sauce like coconut aminos or tamari sauce. Finally, use gluten-free panko crumbs or skip the crumbs.
- Yağsız – You can cook all the orange sauce ingredients together, minus the oil, with great success.
- Somunsuz – Replace the almond milk with any plant-based milk you love, like coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Mısırsız – Replace the cornstarch with tapioca starch or arrowroot flour. Both are also gluten-free.
Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
Here are my answers to your most common questions about this recipe.
You can place the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry at 395°F (200°C) for 15 to 18 minutes. Shake the basket halfway and set aside the air-fried cauliflower on a plate covered with foil to keep it warm. Then, repeat these steps to air-fry the remaining florets.
You can boost the protein content of the dish by serving the recipe with edamame beans or cooked quinoa. Read how to cook quinoa in a rice cooker. Or, you can coat half the cauliflower with some firm tofu cubes. Read my portakal tofu tarifi gerekirse.
This recipe should work with broccoli florets as well or any firm vegetables that won’t release much water.
