Once you see this post and video you can’t unsee it. I’m telling you this is one of my favorite ways to create cauliflower. It’s so extra and yet so simple to make. The flavors all pair so seemlessly with one another.

Firstly, the simple combination of cornmeal, milk and oil will give you a super crunchy little floret. Secondly, while that’s baking away, you want to whip up your sauce. Again, easy to throw together with ingredients you probably already have on hand: chicken broth, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, garlic and corn starch.

Thank you for swinging by Hungry Happens! If you create this dish or any other from our site, we would greatly appreciate you taking the time to comment and rate the recipe! LOVE YOUR LIFE!
