Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour and water. The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower. If it's too thick, add a few tablespoons of water. Add the cauliflower to the bowl and toss until well coated. Using a fork, transfer the battered cauliflower to the baking sheet, shaking off the excess batter. Leave at least 1 inch between each piece. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until crisp. Flip the cauliflower pieces over halfway through.

Step 3

To make the ranch sauce, combine the zucchini, cashews, lemon juice, garlic powder and onion powder in a blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the dill and parsley and set aside. To make the hot sauce, combine the fresh hot peppers, garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, paprika, raw honey, water, and arrowroot starch in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. If the sauce is very thick add a bit more water. Add the baked cauliflower and toss to coat. Remove from heat and place on a serving plate or platter together with the celery stalks. Serve immediately with prepared ranch sauce.
