Cooking Instructions and Tips

Prep the Cauliflower
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Halve any large cauliflower florets. Pop the florets into a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the grated hard Italian style cheese and half the mayonnaise. Make sure the florets are well coated. 

c) In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Central American style spice mix (see ingredients for amount - add less if you'd prefer things milder). Season the crumbs with salt and stir in the oil for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for amount).

d) Add the crumbs to the florets and toss to coat evenly.

Bake your Nuggets
2

a) Pop the coated florets onto a lined baking tray and spread them out in a single layer. Discard any crumbs left in the bowl.

b) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and crispy, 20-25 mins.

c) Meanwhile, combine the remaining mayo in a small bowl with the chipotle paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Dip, Dip, Hooray
3

a) Once roasted, pop the cauliflower nuggets onto a sharing dish and season with salt.

b) Serve the chipotle mayo alongside for dipping.

Enjoy!

Air Fryer your Cauliflower
4

If you'd like to use an air fryer instead of the oven, preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Prepare the cauliflower nuggets as above.

Once hot, add the cauliflower nuggets to the basket. Bake until golden, 12-15 mins.
