Today on DelmarvaLife –
We’re talking teams and touchdowns in today’s Throwback Thursday. “Secrets of the Eastern Shore” Author, Jim Duffy highlights a few local players who suited up for the big game more than 50 years ago.
Delmarvalicious Dishes blogger, Lynne Kenton shows us how to make Buffalo Cauliflower Poppers.
Cauliflower Poppers
Medium head of cauliflower – chopped
Eggs
Rice Chex Mix- you could substitute Corn Flakes or Corn Chex here.
Flour- swap in gluten free flour if needed!
Old Bay seasoning
Parsley
Olive Oil spray
Wing Sauce- do not use hot sauce.
Butter
Honey- you could substitute agave nectar.
Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs. In a shallow bowl, combine crushed Rice Chex cereal, flour, Old Bay seasoning and dried parsley.
Dip cauliflower pieces into egg. Shake off excess egg. Dredge through dry ingredients to coat. Place on baking sheet. Continue until all cauliflower pieces are covered with coating.
Bake cauliflower for 20 minutes flipping halfway through.
While the cauliflower bakes, make the sauce. In a medium pot at medium heat, add butter, honey and wing sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir ingredients together. Once simmering, turn heat down and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
Remove cauliflower from oven and dip into sauce. Place cauliflower back on the baking sheet. Repeat for all cauliflower bites.
Turn oven broiler on low. Place baking sheet back on the lower third oven rack. Broil for 5 minutes until the sauce is baked into the cauliflower. Keep a watchful eye on the cauliflower to avoid burning. Easy peasy, right?!
Lightened Up Ranch Dip Ingredients
Plain Greek Yogurt
Dried Ranch Seasoning
Dried Parsley
Lemon Juice
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill until ready to serve.
