Cauliflower Toasts Recipes

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the cauliflower into 1/2-inch clusters. Transfer to a sheet pan and toss with the oil, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread florets out into a single layer and roast, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender and browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir ricotta or mascarpone in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Mix in Gruyère, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and set aside. In a toaster, toast the bread until golden.
• When cauliflower is done, remove from the sheet pan and set aside to cool. Line the pan with foil and reduce the oven to 375 degrees.
• Arrange the toasts on the lined sheet pan. Stir the cauliflower into the ricotta mixture, then divide among the toasts, spreading to the edges. Dust with Parmesan and paprika. (Recipe can be made up to this point and held at room temperature for up to 2 hours.)
• Bake until toast edges and topping are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. (If desired, broil 2 to 3 minutes to brown and melt the top.) Let cool slightly. Sprinkle with herbs, if using, then cut into halves or quarters and serve immediately.

CAULIFLOWER STIR-FRY WITH TOASTED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Cook the rice as the label directs. Meanwhile, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper; spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 10 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the peanuts and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Remove to a small bowl with a slotted spoon and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the snow peas, bell pepper and ginger to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the scallions (white and green parts) and cauliflower; toss. Add the chili sauce and soy sauce and continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are glazed, about 2 minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork; top each serving with the stir-fry, toasted peanuts and cilantro.

GLUTEN-FREE CAULIFLOWER TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and flax meal. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to gel.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the riced cauliflower for 3-4 minutes on medium power until steamed and mashable with a fork. Let cool for 5 minutes, or until safe to handle.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out all of the moisture. You should be left with about 1½ cups (450 G) of cauliflower.
• In a food processor, combine the cauliflower, almond meal, egg and flax mixture, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Process for 30-60 seconds, until well combined.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of canola oil in a small square cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add half of the cauliflower mixture to the pan, and spread in an even layer with a spatula dipped in water. Repeat with the remaining oil, skillet, and cauliflower mixture.
• Bake for 12 minutes, until the bread begins to brown on top and is firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and turn the broiler to low.
• Grease the tops of the cauliflower bread with nonstick spray. Return to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before topping as desired and serving.
• Enjoy!

CAULIFLOWER TOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled.
• Chop cauliflower finely until it is the size of rice grains.
• Measure out 2 cups cauliflower "rice" into a large bowl. Add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, egg white, parsley flakes, minced onion, salt, and black pepper. Form into 30 small logs. Arrange on the lined baking sheet; spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the bottom, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven, flip, and spray with cooking spray. Continue baking until lightly browned on the other side, 8 to 9 minutes more.
