Sweet and Spicy Bang Bang Cauliflower Bites
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 tbsp corn starch
Bang bang sauce
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or light soy sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Optional
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 F or 220 C.
Add ingredients for the sauce to a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
Cut cauliflower into small florets, then wash and dry them thoroughly.
Dust florets with cornstarch and add them to the sauce, using a spoon or spatula to ensure even coating.
Spread cauliflower bites on a lined baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes.
After every 15 minutes, stir and coat with any sauce that may have spread or run off.
The cauliflower should be a little charred and deliciously caramelized when done, though it won't crisp up like battered wings.
Top with sesame seeds and cilantro, and enjoy.
Tips
Add more or less sriracha to your preference.
Double the sauce to have extra for drizzling or dipping.
