  • 1 tsp paprika

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Whisk together all the cauliflower batter ingredients.
  3. Dip the florets in the batter and spread them out evenly onto the baking sheet, leaving some space between the florets.
  4. Place the cauliflower in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through.
  5. Meanwhile, create the jerk sauce by adding all the ingredients to a blender and blending until smooth.

  7. Save any left over jerk sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use for other recipes or serve with greens.
