Cauliflower is ridiculously high in Vitamin C and low in calories. One large head of cauliflower is only around 210 calories, so I recommend using the largest cauliflower you can find for this recipe. Might as well eat it all. 😉

Ingredients

1 giant head of cauliflower

1/2 cup Franks or Louisiana hot sauce

3/4 cup water (enough to fill the small can)

3/4 cup oat flour

2 teaspoons oregano, dried

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 cups cornflakes, crushed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425℉ and line two pans with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.


Cut cauliflower into florets. The smaller you cut them, the faster they'll bake. We like medium-sized pieces.


In a large mixing bowl, mix together the hot sauce and water. Add the oat flour, oregano, and black pepper. Mix together until smooth.

Dump the florets into the bowl and mix well so each piece is evenly coated with the batter. Sprinkle in half of the crushed cornflakes, stir quickly to coat, and then repeat with the rest of the cornflakes. Arrange florets in a single layer on each pan. Spread them out and keep them separated so they don't touch.

Bake for a total of 30-40 minutes or until the florets and browned and crispy. I recommend flipping the florets to ensure they bake evenly at the 20-minute mark, as well as rotating the pans (back to front and top to bottom) in the oven.
