A sweet, sticky, savory, and delicious lemon cauliflower recipe.
Finely crush breadcrumbs, either in a blender (easiest method) or by placing them in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin or heavy object.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Cut cauliflower into florets. Whisk milk, cornmeal, and oil, then toss with the cauliflower in a large ziploc.
Put the cauliflower in a colander to drain off excess batter. Toss with the breadcrumbs.
Arrange in one layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 35-40 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the lemon sauce by whisking together all remaining ingredients except cornstarch. Then quickly whisk in cornstarch.
Turn heat to medium. Stir frequently β it thickens pretty quickly. Remove cauliflower from oven and stir into the sauce. (If you wish to omit the oil, feel free to experiment. I have not tried and so canβt say how it would affect taste/texture.)
