From the author, Renee Press: The technique used to prepare this crispy, savory, and satisfying cauliflower is perfect for these cool fall nights. Especially useful when you want to make a veggie dish that everyone will not only enjoy but devour. You can use the same ingredients and preparation on other veggies like broccoli, potatoes, yams, mushrooms, okra, as well. The turmeric and black pepper give a nice warm taste and boast anti-inflammatory properties as well. All the comfort and taste of fried cauliflower or cauliflower buffalo wings, but none of the mess. Give it a try!
