Cauliflower Love Bites
Dominic Franks shares a favourite vegetarian recipe, perfect for sharing with loved ones.
There little love bites are the perfectly crispy way to add a little tang to your Valentine’s Day and show your loved one just how sweet, salt and peppery you think they are!
Great, as a starter for two, or even as a canape idea if you’re throwing a party for everyone you love. It’s also a brilliantly versatile dish that can be made in the air fryer or the oven.
METHOD:
- Chop the cauliflower into small bite-size pieces.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, milk, salt and pepper and lemon zest to make a batter.
• In a second bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
• Toss the cauliflower in the batter mixture using a spatula or spoon to coat them all. Transfer them to the breadcrumbs and coat completely, then place them into your air fryer or onto the baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the air fryer or 25 mins in the oven until gloriously golden and crispy.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze by placing all the ingredients into a pan and gently heating whilst you whisk them together.
• Once the cauliflower love bites come out of the air fryer toss them in the sauce, then place them back into the air fryer for a final 5 minutes.
• Garnish them with chopped chives, freshly ground pepper and lemon zest and enjoy!
Tip: Make these ahead of time and then place them back into the air fryer for 5 mins on 180ºC to crisp up!
