I decided to get this food rig moving again..it's been parked in the station WAY too long and snacking way too much on kale chips and leftover tacos…
You've got a place to live, perhaps a new job, and you're #@$*%% hungry! Let's get on it! So here's a good, actually delicious cauliflower recipe…I KNOW I KNOW..where's the beef? But kids, cauliflower is a highly nutritious veggie despite the way it always seems to be lurking in the most random part of the grocery store like a creepy person all wrapped up in a smelly wool coat, hoping someone notices him…I digress..HERE'S A DELICIOUS WAY TO MAKE YOUR NEW FAVORITE VEGETABLE!
CRISPY CAULIFLOWER YOUR FRIENDS WILL BEG YOU FOR LATER
You'll need:
one lovely head of cauliflower
a good sized baking sheet,
olive oil
garlic
panko bread crumbs
salt and pepper
1) Preheat the oven to 375
2) Take the cauliflower apart (don't worry, it's not offended) with a knife.
don't use the big parts of the stalk - just the pretty flowerets-try and cut them smallish, to be around about the same size so they cook evenly.
3) Put about a cup and a half of panko in a big bowl. Smash and chop up some garlic and throw it in the panko.
4) Spray the baking pan
5) Here's the fun part: Throw the cauliflower into the egg whites and toss em around till they're all coated with the slimy goo.
IMPORTANT: if one leaps to its death onto your kitchen floor, push it under the oven immediately; otherwise your roommate might see it, think it's a piece of that popcorn ball you guys made at Christmas. He'll toss it in his mouth and forever swear off cauliflower.
6) With a slotted spoon or your fingers (I vote slotted spoon) throw the gooey chunks into the panko so they're good and panko'd.
7) Place the cauliflower on the pan - don't crowd too much. Take the olive oil and lightly drizzle the mess. Toss on a large pinch of salt and pepper and BAKE. I'm thinking maybe 20 -30 minutes…you want them to be crispy and a bit brown. YUM.
