General Tso’s Cauliflower Recipe

General tsos cauliflower recipe vegan plant based diet

General tso’s cauliflower has become one of my go to healthy recipes since switching to a plant based diet last year. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure if my family would enjoy it. My husband is not a fan of cauliflower and our children is fickle when it comes to eating their veggies.

I’ve always enjoyed general tso’s chicken and general tso’s shrimp growing up. So, I decided to to make a vegetable version of my favorite recipe. It’s takes about twenty minutes to prepare the ingredients and about 40 minutes to bake.

 

General Tso’s Cauliflower Recipe

What You’ll Need:

1 Large cauliflower head (or purchase florets)
1 Tbsp baking soda
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsps low-sodium soy sauce
3 Tbsps raw cane sugar
2 Tbsps gluten free flour
1 ½ cup low sodium vegetable broth
Pinch of black pepper

2 green onions (scallions), cut in small pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced (1 Tbsp garlic powder)
2 Tbsps finely grated fresh ginger
1 cup of almond milk
1 cup gluten free flour
1 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Cut the cauliflower head into small pieces. If you have a sensitive tummy like I do, soaking the florets in water with 1 tbsp of baking soda and a little apple cider vinegar for a few minutes will help you avoid feeling gassy.

General Tso’s Cauliflower sauce

Our picky eaters enjoy dipper the baked cauliflower into the general tso’s sauce.

But you can combine cauliflower with the hoisin sauce, top with remaining scallions, and pair with your favorite side dish.
