Crispy cauliflower bites coated in a spicy, creamy bang bang sauce—perfect for parties, game days, or cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayo)
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Wash and dry the cauliflower, then cut into bite-sized florets.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, egg, and milk until smooth.
  4. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey to prepare the bang bang sauce. Adjust spice level to taste.
  7. Drizzle or toss the baked cauliflower bites with the bang bang sauce. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

[‘Space out the cauliflower florets on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.’, ‘Spray the coated cauliflower lightly with oil before baking for extra crunch.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by reducing the sriracha or swapping it with mild hot sauce.’, ‘Reheat leftovers in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain crispiness.’]
