Crispy Cauliflower Tacos with Yum Yum Sauce

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 06:01:03 PST

These cauliflower tacos with breaded cauliflower, refried beans and silky Yum Yum sauce are all about one thing: big flavor!

Behold the taco. Canvas for all kinds of deliciousness, from traditional like barbacoa with tomatillo salsa to fusion like Korean beef or Thai tofu. Most of the time Alex and I eat a whole food plant based diet, so we’re always looking for creative ways to use veggies. And the taco is the perfect canvas for creating some insane veggie flavors and textures! And this one is our new favorite: these Crispy Cauliflower Tacos.

How often do you eat tacos? Do you go for traditional, or fusion style?

Eating lots of veggies

A new study came out recently called the EAT-Lancet Study that talks about how eating more plants and a little less meat is better for the planet. It’s also a little better for our personal health, too. Alex and I started eating this way about 10 years ago when we read a book called Food Matters by Mark Bittman. So, this is becoming more and more of a theme in research and media.

The upside to all of this is: eating lots of veggies has never been more exciting and creative! Because of the internet, we have access to all sorts of ideas for eating vegetables stemming from cuisines from around the world. And access to literally millions of recipes. Eating your vegetables has never tasted so good.

How to make cauliflower tacos

OK, on to this recipe! We have a delicious cauliflower tacos recipe in our cookbook, Pretty Simple Cooking, but we’ve never posted one here on A Couple Cooks. So here goes: the star of these easy cauliflower tacos is our Crispy Breaded Cauliflower. It’s roasted in the oven and covered in a savory, salty, sweet and lightly spicy breading. It’s a bit of a play on breaded fish tacos (though of course the flavor is quite different!).

Accessorize that with some refried black beans, tart cabbage slaw, and cilantro. (We used canned refried beans, but you can also make our homemade version.) Then cover it all in a delicious sauce: this Yum Yum Sauce recipe. Yum Yum Sauce is used in Japanese steakhouses and served with seafood, but here we’ve used it as a bit of a “fusion” element to accessorize with this vegetarian taco recipe. It’s so, so tasty and adds a richness to the tacos that’s incredible. It’s certainly not a health food in itself, but a little goes a long way here!

If you’d like to make a different sauce from the Yum Yum Sauce for these cauliflower tacos (there’s a vegan variation in that sauce recipe), here are a few more ideas for delicious taco sauces that would be great here:

This crispy cauliflower tacos recipe is vegetarian, gluten-free, refined sugar free, and naturally sweet. For vegan, plant-based, and dairy-free, use the vegan Yum Yum Sauce variation or the Chipotle Tahini Sauce.

Description

These cauliflower tacos with breaded cauliflower, refried beans and silky Yum Yum sauce are all about one thing: big flavor!

Ingredients 1 recipe Crispy Breaded Cauliflower15-ounce can vegetarian refried beans (or Supremely Simple Refried Black Beans) 1/2 teaspoon cumin 2 cups red cabbage, shredded 2 limes (1 for the cabbage & 1 to serve) 3 tablespoons Yum Yum Sauce (use vegan mayo or substitute Chipotle Tahini Sauce) 8 corn tortillas Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions Make the Crispy Breaded Cauliflower (about 40 minutes total; use the remaining time to complete the steps below.) If using purchased refried beans, taste and if needed, mix with 1/2 teaspoon cumin and/or a pinch or two kosher salt. (Or, you can make our Supremely Simple Refried Black Beans but for this recipe we preferred using storebought so we could focus on the cauliflower!) Thinly slice the red cabbage, enough for 2 cups. Mix it with 2 tablespoons lime juice and a pinch or two of salt. Allow it to stand at room temperature until serving. Make the Yum Yum Sauce. Warm the tortillas, or char them by placing them on grates above an open gas flame on medium heat for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. To serve, place refried beans in a tortilla, top with cabbage, breaded cauliflower, Yum Yum sauce, and torn cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges to spritz prior to serving. (If you have leftover cauliflower, you can reheat them in a 350F oven for 10 minutes, flipping once.)

Crispy Breaded Cauliflower

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 06:00:04 PST

This crispy breaded cauliflower is salty, tangy, sweet, spicy, and crunchy all at once! It’s 100% plant based and 100% delicious.

How often do you eat meatless? Maybe for Meatless Mondays? Maybe vegan or vegetarian during the weekdays? More and more research is showing that not only is eating less meat good for physical health, it’s gentler on the planet too. Which, is why Alex and I started this website in the first place! Today we eat a mainly whole food plant based diet (most of the time, but we flex a little, too!). So, we’re always interested in new ways to make eating plants fun and exciting: like this crispy breaded cauliflower recipe.

The inspiration behind the recipe

When you eat a lot of veggies like Alex and I do, there’s a lot of room for creativity. Learning to cook vegetables in delicious ways has been a huge learning curve for us. But after 10+ years of cooking this way and writing a book about it, we now feel like experts. Still, there are millions of ideas yet to explore, like this baked and breaded cauliflower recipe. We are HUGE cauliflower fans, and we typically coat it in olive oil and roast it. We’ve never had a crispy breaded version at home.

Alex came up with an idea for a breaded cauliflower recipe that’s baked, not fried. I didn’t believe that he could do it baked, as I thought it would come out all soggy. Alex took it as a challenge and I said, go for it! He set about to make a baked and breaded cauliflower recipe that would be totally crispy and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside.

And it turned out so, so delicious that I was instantly a believer! What I love about this recipe is that it is so many things at once: savory, tangy, sweet, and spicy. And, it really is crunchy after being baked, not fried! Your palate is simply overwhelmed by the complexity.

How to make breaded cauliflower

A few notes on the basic concept here. When you cut the cauliflower, make sure to cut it into large florets to make them easy to bake. Then, instead of mixing the cauliflower with olive oil like a typical roasted cauliflower recipe, you mix it with a heated mixture of peanut butter, soy, maple, and hot sauce, which helps the breading to stick. Then, you’ll add the breading: panko, cornmeal, and a bunch of spices. Using cornmeal here on Alex’s part was genius: it gives a big crunch to the cauliflower.

After you bake 30 minutes in a hot oven, it’s good to go! The cauliflower is best right out of the oven — though it still tastes crunchy after sitting for a while at room temp. If you refrigerate leftovers, however, the moisture in the refrigerator takes away the crunch.

How to serve this crispy cauliflower

OK, now the question: how to serve it? Because we loved this breaded cauliflower so much, we decided to make it into a few different recipes. Our favorite: this crispy cauliflower tacos recipe! And we’ve got another bowl meal coming soon. It’s a fantastic side dish or appetizer as well. If serving as an appetizer, you could add a drizzle of Yum Yum sauce or another sauce. Or, kids love this cauliflower with ketchup!

Description

This crispy breaded cauliflower is salty, tangy, sweet, and spicy all at once! It’s 100% plant based and 100% delicious.

Ingredients 1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 pounds whole) 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (use gluten free panko as necessary) 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 tablespoon peanut butter 1 tablespoon maple syrup 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos) 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce

Instructions Preheat the oven to 400F. Chop the cauliflower into large florets. Place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the panko, cornmeal, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, turmeric, and kosher salt. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, soy sauce, and hot sauce until fully combined and slightly darkened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce onto the cauliflower and stir several times until the cauliflower is well coated. Pour about 1/3 of the dry mixture into the bowl with the cauliflower and mix. Repeat twice to stir in the remaining dry mixture to coat all of the cauliflower. Then remove the breaded cauliflower from the bowl with your hands and place it onto a parchment lined baking sheet. About 1/2 of the crumbs will remain in the bowl; you can discard these. Bake the cauliflower for 30 minutes total, flipping the cauliflower with a spatula at the 15 minute mark. Serve immediately. If serving as an appetizer, you could add a drizzle of Yum Yum sauce or another sauce. Or, kids love them with ketchup! (If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in a 350F oven for 10 minutes, flipping once.)

Our Favorite Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 22:28:53 +0000

Healthy slow cooker meals are easy to prep and the best solution for when you don’t have time to cook dinner, but want to surprise your family with a delicious meal every night.  I’ve gathered our family’s favorite slow cooker recipes all in one place for easy reference!

I HEART my slow cooker. It makes everything taste better. And the flavors – oh the flavors. They are just the best.

Another amazing thing about the slow cooker is that, in a matter of minutes, the prep step is done and you can let the slow cooker do its thing. 10 or 15 minutes of prep time max. Which means you can prep the ingredients, throw them in the slow cooker, and then forget about them for a few hours. You can even run errands, work, or spend time with your kids during these hours. Without having to check on your healthy crockpot meals once!

When the healthy crockpot meals are ready, you just have to transfer them from the slow cooker to a serving plate or bowl and enjoy them.

So easy, right?

These are all slow cooker healthy recipes. Since guilt-free delicious meals are all we want during busy weeknights, I’m happy to share this list of healthy crockpot dinners with you. It will allow you to save time cooking dinner and the recipes are great for meal prep too. Which means more easy healthy crockpot meals for your family.

Amazeballs!

TOOLSET FOR RECIPES

Most healthy slow cooker recipes make easy healthy crockpot meals. You don’t have to spend hours prepping the ingredients or making sure everything is cooked perfectly. And you don’t need many tools either. A few kitchen tools are more than enough. In case you want to know what tools you need to make these healthy crockpot dinners, I made a list for you.

Let’s start with the obvious one – the magical slow cooker. If you want to make healthy crockpot meals low-carb, you’ll need a spiralizer for zucchini noodles. Some healthy slow cooker recipes require a little bit of prep. A food processor and a kitchen blender or an immersion blender are very helpful tools. Others require a little bit of cooking before throwing all the ingredients in the slow cooker. For this, you’ll need a large skillet. If you want to make delicious mashed potatoes in the slow cooker with little to no effort, you totally can. You’ll need a potato masher to make them smooth and creamy.

3 BONUS TIPS FOR MAKING HEALTHY CROCKPOT MEALS EXTRA DELICIOUS

Healthy slow cooker recipes are easy. And you don’t have to struggle to get a delicious taste or amazing flavors. However, I have to share some tips that will make your healthy crockpot meals more delicious than they already are. Woot!

Use fresh ingredients – to make easy healthy crockpot meals flavorful, use fresh veggies and herbs. The taste and flavors will be better than if you’d use frozen ingredients. Prep the ingredients ahead of time – cut the meat, slice the veggies, cook some of the ingredients when required –  if you want to use these healthy slow cooker recipes for meal prep. Then all you have to do is to place the ingredients in the slow cooker and go on with your day. Not all slow cookers are the same so, when testing new slow cooker healthy recipes, make sure you adjust the time accordingly. For example, large slow cookers take longer to heat and to cook so keep that in mind when you try these healthy crockpot meals. HEALTHY SLOW COOKER DINNER IDEAS

Easy 1-Pot Black Bean Soup

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 11:00:32 +0000

In college I subsisted on cafe lunches to power me through writing papers and studying for tests. Panera was a frequent stop of mine since they had salads and soups and SO much coffee. One of my go-to’s was their black bean soup and I’ve had it in the back of my mind to recreate it ever since.

Let me show you how easy this 1-pot, 30-minute version is!
