72 | Ingredients</h2> | |
73 | ||
74 | <ul> | |
75 | <li>1 Head Cauliflower, cut into florets</li> | |
76 | <li>1 cup panko bread crumbs</li> | |

84 | <li>¾ cup unsweetened plain almond milk</li> | |
85 | <li>¼ cup water</li> | |
86 | <li>2 tsp garlic powder</li> | |
87 | <li>2 tsp smoked or plain paprika</li> | |

105 | Directions</h2> | |
106 | ||
107 | <ol> | |
108 | <li>Cut cauliflower into small florets</li> | |
109 | <li>Put panko bread crumbs on plate</li> | |
110 | <li>Line baking sheet with parchment and pre-heat oven to 350°F</li> | |
111 | <li><a href="https://www.cooksillustrated.com/how_tos/8896-experiment-bringing-out-the-best-in-garlic-powder">Proof garlic powder</a>: combine garlic powder with 2tsp water and | |
112 | allow it to stand for 5 minutes. This will ensure the enzymes | |
113 | activate and are able to develop a better garlic flavor.</li> | |
114 | <li>Make batter: combine flour, almond milk, water, garlic powder, | |
115 | paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed (whisk to | |
116 | remove chunks of flour if needed).</li> | |
117 | <li>Dip cauliflower florets in batter, ensuring each is fully coated</li> | |
118 | <li>Roll the coated cauliflower florets in panko</li> | |
119 | <li>Place cauliflower on parchment lined baking sheet (not touching, | |
120 | single layer only) and bake for 25 minutes at 350°F. Keep oven on | |
121 | after removing, these will be baked a second time.</li> | |
122 | <li>Make sauce: mix 1 Cup Valentina hot sauce and 1 Tbsp olive oil.</li> | |
123 | <li>Toss cauliflower and sauce in large bowl until all florets are | |
124 | evenly coated.</li> | |
125 | <li>Place cauliflower back onto parchment lined baking sheet, and bake | |
126 | for an additional 20 minutes at 350°F</li> | |
127 | <li>Eat!</li> | |

146 | 2020-01-25</h4> | |
147 | ||
148 | <p class="first">Spiked sauce with 1Tbsp el yucateco xxx. Wings were pretty spicy; fine | |
149 | with ranch, but could probably do without being spiked with xxx for | |
150 | people with lower spice tolerance (like ... Kristen).</p> | |
151 | ||
152 | <p>1/2 to 3/4 cup hot sauce would have been plenty, there was a lot left | |
153 | over and the wings were soaked a bit too much IMO.</p> | |
154 | ||
155 | <p>"Skin" was less crunchy than promised. Can probably ramp up second | |
156 | cook time to 400°F or 425°F... or turn the convenction fan on for the | |
157 | second bake.</p> | |
158 | ||
159 | <p>Panko is not optional, at least with parchment paper. Without it, the | |
160 | batter on the bottom detaches from the cauliflower. Also panko on a | |
161 | plate didn't work out very well, use something with sides next time | |
162 | (maybe the red ceramic cooking dish).</p> | |
163 | ||
164 | <p>Might want to use a dash of msg instead of salt in the batter: could | |
165 | make things a bit more savory, and at least the valentina hot sauce | |
166 | adds PLENTY of salt (one batch of wings with 1 cup of hot sauce is | |
167 | 150% the daily limit for salt...). Start with 1/8 tsp.</p> | |
168 | ||
169 | <p>Cumin might work well for the batter... but it could just be that I | |
170 | really like cumin.</p> | |
171 | ||
172 | <p>So for next experiments:</p> | |
173 | ||
174 | <ul> | |
175 | <li>use less valentina (1/2 cup or 3/4 cup)</li> | |
176 | <li>try wire rack instead of parchment (put parchment under rack to | |
177 | catch drips)</li> | |
178 | <li>use convection for second roasting to see if that makes the crust | |
179 | crispier.</li> | |
180 | <li>look into roasting the cauliflower during the first part, since | |
181 | that should make it taste richer. looks like it'd be done around | |
182 | 450°F for under 20 minutes, but does batter burn at those temps / | |
183 | would batter inhibit roasting?</li> | |
184 | <li>maybe some experimentation with increasing the amount of oil; a lot | |
185 | of other recipes are showing 1/3 cup butter/oil to 2/3 cup | |
186 | sauce.</li> | |
187 | </ul> | |
188 | ||
189 | ||
190 | <h4><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a> | |
191 | 2020-04-03</h4> | |
192 | ||
193 | <p class="first">Been a bit... decided to just change the sauce since I don't remember | |
194 | much about the last batch.</p> | |
195 | ||
196 | <h5>Changes</h5> | |
197 | ||
198 | <h5>batter</h5> | |
199 | ||
200 | <ul> | |
201 | <li>replace 1/4 tsp salt with 1/8 tsp msg and 1/8 tsp fine ground sea | |
202 | salt</li> | |
203 | <li>forgot to add pepper</li> | |
204 | </ul> | |
205 | ||
206 | ||
207 | <h5>sauce</h5> | |
208 | ||
209 | <ul> | |
210 | <li>1/2 cup valentina</li> | |
211 | <li>1 Tbsp el yucateco chipotle sauce</li> | |
212 | <li>1 tsp el yucateco xxx</li> | |
213 | </ul> | |
214 | ||
215 | <p>Can try wire rack next time.</p> | |
216 | ||
217 | ||
218 | ||
219 | <h5>Tasting Notes</h5> | |
220 | ||
221 | <p>1/2 cup of valentina and then a couple tablespoons of additions worked | |
222 | great. not being over soaked in sauce let the wings crisp a bit | |
223 | better. also, 1 tbsp olive oil is a lot more in a half cup than a | |
224 | whole cup...</p> | |
225 | ||
226 | <p>I don't think it is important to try cooking these on a wire rack | |
227 | next, and that test can be bumped back a bit. Instead of focusing on | |
228 | crust crispiness (adequate, not that these aren't super soaked in | |
229 | sauce and they actually <strong>can</strong> crisp), focus on making the cauliflower | |
230 | richer: increase the temp of the first roast.</p> | |

237 | <h5>Changes from base recipe</h5> | |
238 | ||
239 | <h5>batter</h5> | |
240 | ||
241 | <ul> | |
242 | <li>replace 1/4 tsp salt with 1/8 tsp msg and 1/8 tsp fine ground sea | |
243 | salt</li> | |
244 | </ul> | |

254 | ||
255 | <p>Messing with temperature instead of wire rack.</p> | |
256 | ||
257 | <p>Found at least once recipe for battered regular wings | |
258 | (<a href="https://cafedelites.com/crispy-buffalo-chicken-wings-baked/">https://cafedelites.com/crispy-buffalo-chicken-wings-baked/</a>) that was | |
259 | at 450°F, so I think it will survive the increased temp fine.</p> | |

263 | <blockquote> | |
264 | <p class="quoted">You can roast cauliflower (or any vegetable, for that matter) at | |
265 | oven temperatures ranging from 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I | |
266 | prefer 400 – 425 for cauliflower. It takes longer to cook at lower | |
267 | temperatures, and at higher temperatures it has a tendency to char | |
268 | somewhat (which I regard as a good thing, although not always | |
269 | something I want).</p> | |
270 | </blockquote> | |
271 | ||
272 | <blockquote> | |
273 | <p class="quoted">But oven temperature affects how quickly cauliflower roasts. At 500 | |
274 | degrees, it could take as little as 35 minutes. At 300 degrees, it | |
275 | may need a good hour and a quarter (maybe even longer). Start | |
276 | testing the cauliflower at the 30-minute mark, and keep testing | |
277 | every 10 – 15 minutes until you determine that it’s done.</p> | |
278 | </blockquote> | |
279 | ||
280 | ||
281 | ||
282 | <h5>new baking schedule</h5> | |
283 | ||
284 | <p>Idea here is: roast at a lower temp before we add oil, then give it a | |
285 | stronger roasting once the oily sauce is on it.</p> | |
286 | ||
287 | <ul> | |
288 | <li>25 minutes @ 350°F</li> | |
289 | <li>20 minutes @ 425°F</li> | |
290 | </ul> | |
291 | ||
292 | ||
293 | <h5>Tasting Notes</h5> | |
294 | ||
295 | <p>For next time, maybe try 2Tbsp oil</p> | |
