Serves: 4
Prep: 20
Cook: 35

    Ingredients

    • 1 small head cauliflower
    • 1 ½ cups wholemeal flour
    • 3 tbs cornflour
    • 1 ¼ cups water
    • sesame seeds, to garnish
    • sliced spring onion, to garnish
    Sauce
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tbs Marmite™
    • 2 tbs white vinegar
    • 2 tbs sesame oil
    • 1 tbs no added salt tomato paste
    • 3 tbs honey
    • ½ cup water
    • 2 tsp cornflour

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat your oven to 190°C fan bake and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
    2. Step 2

      Cut the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets.
    3. Step 3

      In a large bowl, mix together the flour and cornflour. Add half of the water and mix until smooth. Continue to add the remaining water, a little at a time, until you achieve a thick batter (you may not need all of the water).
    4. Step 4

      Add the cauliflower florets and mix well to coat. Use tongs to transfer the battered cauliflower pieces to the lined baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
    5. Step 5

      Meanwhile, combine the garlic, Marmite, white vinegar, sesame oil, tomato paste and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix the cornflour with the water and add to the sauce. Whisk until the sauce thickens and remove from the heat.
    6. Step 6

      When the battered cauliflower has cooked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and use tongs to transfer the florets into a large bowl. Pour over the sauce and toss well to coat.
    7. Step 7

      Return the florets to the lined baking tray and bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
    8. Step 8

      Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.

    Tips

    These tasty morsels are great served as a finger food snack or can be turned into a more substantial meal by serving with brown rice, tofu/ tempeh, fresh leafy greens and herbs for an Asian-inspired salad bowl.
