For the Cauliflower

- Seasonings – We have created a unique blend of seasonings that we think makes the perfect combination for this dish
SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:
- Cauliflower – you could sub this with jackfruit, chickpeas or another white bean, pieces of vegan chicken (like daring) and more
- Seasonings – While we love our seasoning blend, you can switch it up by using other pre-made blends as well
Frequently Asked Questions:

Yes! We’d recommend letting this cool completely and then storing in an air tight container for up to 5 days. If you meal prep you can split this up into individual containers.
If you want the cauliflower to reheat crispy, then reheat the cauliflower in an air fryer to get back crispy again.
