This is a really creative and delicious way to eat more cauliflower: a versatile and superfood vegetable that’s rich in antioxidants. Although there’s a bit of prep work before these skewers hit the grill, the sticky, sweet and spicy result is worth every minute.

Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Chop the cauliflower into large florets.

Step 3

Combine the flour, milk, sea salt and pepper in a bowl, whisk until smooth and thick.

Step 4

Coat each cauliflower floret into the flour mixture and place on the baking sheets – don’t overcrowd them. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until crisp on the outside.

Step 5

Meanwhile, make the BBQ sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes, stirring every so often, until it thickens.

Step 6

Let the cauliflower cool, then drizzle the BBQ sauce over and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Save some sauce to be served on the side of the skewers.

Step 7

Place 3 to 4 cauliflower florets on a skewer. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them first.

Step 8

Heat your grill to medium and oil it well. Place the cauliflower on the grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, no need to cover.

Step 9

Remove from the grill and top with chopped green onions and cilantro. Sprinkle some extra sesame seeds over top. Serve extra BBQ sauce on the side.
