THE FOOD GAYS - Hot Buffalo Cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup sriracha
1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped

Method:

Heat oven to 375. In a medium-sized bowl, combine breadcrumbs, chipotle, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Dunk each cauliflower floret into the egg wash, then cover with breadcrumb mixture. Arrange on a non-stick pan (use parchment paper if necessary). Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Make the glaze. Combine sriracha, sambal olek, butter and browl sugar in a small pot on medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.

After 25-30 minutes have passed, remove cauliflower from oven and toss with sauce. Bump heat to 400, and return cauliflower to the oven for another 5 minutes.

Make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ricotta cheese, garlic and cilantro. Serve immediately.
