Barbequed Cauliflower Bites
A husband who is a hardcore carnivore and doesn’t like cauliflower at all, ate these like chicken wings. Actually, I got only 1 to try :(. He was eating them with such a delight, I didn’t have the heart to stop him and say, “leave some for me, please”. But when I saw only 1 left, I said, “mine”.. Yikes! I just blurted out….just like that. They had come out golden and crispy. I had to eat one at least.
Don’t these look good? Tell me the truth! I am all excited to hear the praising bells ringing 😄.
Barbequed Cauliflower Bites
Kitchen Equipments Required : Oven, baking sheet, parchment or butter paper, mixing bowl.
Ingredients :
Cauliflower : 10-12 small flowers
Barbeque sauce : 1/3 cup
Rice flour : 1 tbsp
Sesame seeds, white : to garnish
Scallion greens : chopped fine to garnish
Method :
1. Preheat the oven at 375*F. Line the baking sheet with parchment or butter paper.
2. Take a mixing bowl. Add the barbeque sauce and rice flour to it. Mix them well. Add cauliflower flowers to the sauce and toss them well in it so that they are well coated with the sauce.
3. Place them on the lined baking sheet and bake them for 45 minutes to 1 hour. They are done. Crispy and yum! Keep a check on these since it varied from cauliflower variety to the other.
Enjoy this Super Bowl or Cricket Match or Footaball or Rugby with this fabulous treat! Meanwhile, I am taking it to the Angie’s Fiesta Friday Anniversary while it lasts, co-hosted by Hilda and Chef Juliana. I hope all the peeps are still partying around and have appetite left for my barbeque serve.

Ding, dong, clang, bang… I’m ringing the bells of praise for you, Sonal…do you hear them?? Fabulous collection of recipes! Your sauce looks so rich and thick…it looks delicious! Mmm…so many delicious bites, I don’t know where to dig in first!
Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.

Dont tell too many peoples!
VERY seductive! Great work Sonal xx
I reckon I would have been very happy to eat this too!
oh the cauliflowers look great!! Real crisp. A job very well done Sonal.
These recipes will be very popular in our house – and I will be happy to make them. Thanks for these Sonal, and enjoy your weekend.
Thanks Hilda :). I am glad that you liked these.
Lovely recipe it looks so delicious I am so making this for my mom.

Thank you 🙂
Wow. This all looks so good. You’ll have the whole neighbourhood turning up for your barbecues if you keep this up.
Hahahaa
Yummy recipe 🙂
Thanks Linda 🙂
This is the best!!! I’m adding it to our Fiesta Friday Anniversary Part 1. Truly, truly awesome recipes. I can’t wait to make these for my daughter!
Phew! Thank goodness Angie!! I was searching like crazy to add this to the event and then saw no “add your link” on the post. We loved it here. Had been thinking of working on the vegan/vegetarian side of the chicken wings for sometime. Finally did it! The fiesta anniversary, the Super Bowl and another event on one of the FB foodie forums prompted me to create this! I am so glad that you liked these :).
Liked?! I loved them!! Barbecued tofu and cauliflowers? My god, I don’t know why I’ve never thought of them before. Now my daughter can enjoy BBQ with the rest of us! She is just not very fond of meat in general. She’ll be happy with these! Thank you!!
🙂
Superbbbb
Thanks Anju 🙂
The color of your sauce looks incredible– the cauliflower bites are calling to me!
These were fantastic ! Sadly I got to eat only 1. Will make another batch when hubby is traveling 😉
Really stunning recipe, Sonal! Definitely trying the roasted cauliflower at least. Super bowl or not, this is very inspiring. 🙂
I am going to make this sauce. I LOVE BBQ sauce and that cauliflower looks incredible. I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks Suzanne! It was yummmm.
As always yum!!

Well now, I have to share this for folks watching the game! Cheryl-Lynn
Thanks so much Cheryl 🙂
Reblogged this on Chef Ceaser.
Sonal, you outdid yourself darling (as if that’s even possible!haha!). All of these look amazing and the sauce looks divine. I just had one doubt. Do the cauliflower florets really need an hour to bake? Won’t they be too shriveled by then?
Anyways, kudos to you! Loved this post 🙂
Hahaaa! Thanks Anjana!
I guess that depends upon the size and quality of the cauliflower too. If you are using very Small florets, they will be done sooner. Also, if you are using very fresh cauliflower, it will also be wilting by the end of it as it will leave water. The cauliflower that I used was siting for a while in my fridge and since I coated a thick coat, it took me around that time. After reading your comment, I have added a note in the recipe to keep a watch after 30 minutes.
🙂
Looks and sounds wonderful!
Thanks
