Cauliflower Burger Ingredients:
Gather your ingredients:
Cauliflower
The star of this dish is cauliflower. It’s inexpensive, easily accessible, and easy to use. When used with this cooking method, you’ll be shocked at how good it is.
Substitute: “Meat” Base – While we love cauliflower and thing you will too, you can definitely play around with the base of this recipe with the batter. Try oyster mushrooms, tofu, seitan, jackfruit, and more.
Flour
We use all purpose flour as part of the breading method to add a nice coating and give the perfect texture
Substitute: You can use whole wheat flour for this recipe, in addition to gluten free 1:1 blend like King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill
Corn Flour
A must for the golden texture and the absolute crunchiness vegan cauliflower sandwich you’ve had
Substitute: You can replace this with all flour but the texture will be different. It will still be good though.
Bread Crumbs
We prefer panko bread crumbs for this recipe. Just make sure whether you use panko or traditional that it is vegan as many regular breadcrumbs contain milk.
Substitute: Most breadcrumbs contain dairy so are not vegan, but if you do have regular breadcrumbs you can use those. Alternatively you could switch it up and try crushed chips, cornflakes, and more.
Hot Sauce
We start infusing the spicy flavor right into the batter.
Substitute: If you don’t want this to be spicy, you can omit this.
Dairy Free Milk
We lean towards oat or almond, but any dairy free milk works here
Substitute: While not as much flavor, you could swap the dairy free milk with water
Apple Cider Vinegar
When you combine vinegar with dairy free milk you get a vegan buttermilk and we wanted those flavors here together.
Substitute: You can use white vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon juice as well
Oil
We are using vegetable oil because it’s a great neutral oil that is great for deep frying and allows the food to retain it’s flavor without any compromise.
Substitute: You want to use a high heat oil that is neutral in flavor – other options would be canola, corn, peanut, soybean or avocado oil. Alternatively, you can air-fry these to be oil free.
