I noticed an Instagram put up on Milk Avenue displaying the way to add additional crispiness to roasted non-starch greens. Seems you solely want a whole lot of corn starch and a very popular oven. I feel their honesty of the outline of the “oven fried” on the location is a bit stretched! The perimeters do flip brown, though you possibly can take a chew after you end.

It is enjoyable to wrap these little cauliflower lettuce within the sauce. Leaf lettuce or Boston/butter leaves are greatest for this software.

I did attempt the recipe utilizing Arrowroot starch and the sauce thickened and good, whereas the cauliflower wasn’t the identical. For that tightening issue, nothing like corn starch!

If I succeed, I’ll comply with up right here!
