Five success tips<\/h2>\n
The there are several tricks to making this oil-free, vegan cauliflower dish turn out perfectly every time. Here’s five tips for success:<\/p>\n
\n
Use a parchment paper lined baking sheet, this helps prevent the baked cauliflower florets from sticking to the pan.\u00a0 Learn more about why I love using parchment paper when baking<\/a> ><\/li>\n
Sift the chickpea flour and nutritional yeast before sprinkling onto the cauliflower. This will help the flour easily disperse and coat the cauliflower. If you do not sift the flour, there may be chunks of chickpea flour which do not taste very delicious.<\/li>\n
Use a large mixing bowl to toss together the ingredients, this will ensure you toss the flavors well without worrying about florets flying out of the bowl.<\/li>\n
To check for doneness, the cauliflower should be starting to brown on the bottom and should stay together with the coated topping. If you try to pull a piece and the coating comes off, that means the cauliflower needs to bake longer.<\/li>\n
When the cauliflower is done, it should easily separate from the parchment paper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
