Crispy Avocado and Date-Glazed Vegetables over Cauliflower Rice

While date syrup may be an unusual ingredient to some of us, it’s a thousand-year-old staple in many other cultures. After living abroad and falling in love with this mineral-packed alternative sweetener, Ryan and Colleen Sundlie of Date Lady were inspired to start making their own. But enough syrup talk — if you have a food processor, feel free to use it to make the cauliflower rice for this delicious dish instead of a grater!

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Prep the veggies

Preheat oven to 425 °F. Rinse the radishes and cabbage. Halve the radishes. Remove the core from the cabbage and discard. Chop the cabbage into 1-inch pieces. Peel and quarter the onions. In a large bowl, add the date syrup, 2 tbsp oil, sambal and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add radishes, cabbage, and onion to bowl and toss. Put the glazed veggies on a baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes, or until tender.

2
Make the cauliflower rice

Rinse and core the cauliflower. Grate the florets with the large side of a box grater. Put 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cauliflower and hemp seeds; season with salt and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is cooked through. Add the juice of the limes.

3
Quick pit stop

Rinse and halve the avocados. Remove the pits and scoop the flesh out of the skin. Cut each half into 4 slices to make 16 total. Put the cornstarch into a small bowl along with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4
Fry the avocado

Add 4 tbsp oil to a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the avocado pieces one at a time in the cornstarch, then fry. Cook until lightly browned on all sides, using tongs to carefully turn, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt.

5
Dress it up

In a small bowl, add Sriracha, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar. Whisk in 2 tbsp oil until the sugar dissolves.

6
Plate and serve

Rinse and slice the scallions. Plate equal portions of cauliflower rice into the center of your bowls and top with the date-glazed veggies and fried avocado. Serve with dressing on top or on the side, and garnish with scallions.
