Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Craving buffalo hot wings? Weve made these buffalo cauliflower bites taste as authentic as possible using some clever tricks with millet flour and nutritional yeast. But keep that a secret and make two batchesbecause theyll go fast. Serves 4 as a side or 8 as an appetizer
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) Millet Flour
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) Water
  • 1 head of Cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) Blue Cheese Dip (recipe included at end)
  • 2 stalks Celery, cut into sticks
  • 2 large Carrots, cut into sticks
Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). Line one large or two small baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Whisk together the flour, nutritional yeast, and water until smooth. Toss with the cauliflower in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly toss with the hot sauce. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until the sauce has baked onto cauliflower. Serve the bites immediately with dressing and vegetable sticks. Blue Cheese Dip This is the real McCoy of blue cheese dips. Store-bought dressings cant compete with the flavor of this homemade favorite. If you want a thicker dip, use sour cream. Makes 1 cup (250 mL)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) Kefir, Buttermilk, or Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) Mayonnaise
  • 2 oz (55 g) Blue Cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) minced Garlic or 14 tsp (1 mL) Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) Worcestershire Sauce (vegan) (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) Sea Salt
  • Pinch of ground Black Pepper
In a medium bowl, place the kefir, mayonnaise, blue cheese, garlic, Worcestershire (if using), sea salt, and pepper. Whisk together until blended but with some cheese crumbles remaining. Use immediately or let sit overnight for improved flavor. Gluten Free Option: Make sure the Worcestershire sauce is gluten free or skip it completely if you dont have any.

Sweet Millet and Chickpea Stuffed Peppers with Rosemary and Parmesan

Take pleasure in eating a stuffed pepper as the main part of your meal or half as a side dish. The naturally subtle sweetness of the peppers, millet, and chickpeas beautifully blend with the rosemary and red pepper flakes and the salty crispness of baked Parmesan cheese. If you dont have millet handy, this recipe works just as well with an equal amount of quinoa. Serves 4 as a main or 8 as a side
  • 4 Sweet Red, Yellow or Orange Peppers
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) Grapeseed Oil
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh Rosemary
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) minced Garlic
  • 1/2-1 tsp (2 to 5 mL) crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 5 Bay Leaves, divided
  • 2 cups (500 mL) low-sodium Vegetable Broth or Water
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Millet
  • 1 cup (250 mL) cooked Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line one 8-inch (2L) square baking dish (for 4 peppers) or one 13 x 9-inch (3.5 L) baking dish with parchment paper. Cut around the stem of each pepper and discard the seeds and stem. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish (trim the bottoms slightly to help them stand if necessary, or use a muffin tin) and set aside. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1 bay leaf, stirring and heating for about 30 seconds. Add the vegetable broth and millet. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and 1/4 cup (60 mL) Parmesan cheese. Spoon the filling into each of the peppers, filling any gaps or air pockets. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of Parmesan cheese, tuck one bay leaf into each pepper, and return each to the baking dish. Place in the oven uncovered and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until peppers are tender and the cheese is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 3-5 minutes before serving.
