Turmeric Almond Crusted Cauliflower Nuggets
Cripsy, flavorful cauliflower nuggets with a delicious almond and bread crumb crust. These cauliflower nuggets are healthy, oil-free, vegan/plant-based and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower
- ⅔ cup almonds ( I used Daily Crunch Snack Golden Goodness Sprouted Almonds )
- 2 pieces bread
- ½ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- 1 flax egg
- ¾ tsp paprika
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp onion powder
- 1 ½ tsp nutritional yeast
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- ¾ tsp salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Start by making your flax egg. Take 1 tbs of ground flax and mix with 3 tbs of warm water. Set aside.
-
Add almonds to a food processor and pulse until fine. Make sure to not over process as this will result in making almond butter.
-
Put almonds pieces in a small bowl. Toast two pieces of bread and add to food processor. Pulse until fine.
-
Combine bread crumbs and almonds. In a different bowl, whisk together almond flour, almond milk, flax egg, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast and salt.
-
Chop cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Dip each individual piece into the wet mixture and tap off excess. Roll cauliflower into the almond and bread crumb mixture until covered and tap off excess.
-
Place the individual nuggets onto the baking sheet. Bake in the oven until golden, roughly 25-30 minutes.
