Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cauliflower head
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower head into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, and baking powder.
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Place the battered cauliflower florets onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated cauliflower florets to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, flipping once halfway through the cooking time.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium crispy cauliflower fry as a snack or side dish!
