Sticky Sesame Cauliflower
Sticky Sesame Cauliflower is coated in a hot, sticky-sweet sauce after being perfectly battered and baked. It’s wonderful! Instead of ordering takeout, prepare a healthier dish at home.
Since cauliflower has been popular for a few years, I don’t anticipate a quick decline in popularity. One of the most adaptable vegetables, it is often used as a more nutritious alternative to pizza crust, rice, mashed potatoes, meat, creamy sauces, and a variety of other foods.
Therefore, if you’ve always loved Sesame Chicken takeout, you’ll adore this dish. All the flavors are still present, despite how much lighter it is. Instead of frying it, I chose to bake it, and I only used a small amount of high-sodium ingredients.
