Baked Vegan Bang Bang Cauliflower
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower
- 1 cup vegan milk + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup flour (regular / gf / buckwheat…)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 220°C or 430°F.
Break cauliflower into bite-size pieces after removing leaves and stems.
Create buttermilk by mixing vegan milk and vinegar; let it sit for 5 minutes, then combine with flour, cornstarch, and spices, whisking well.
Coat the cauliflower in the batter, mix in the breadcrumbs, and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and chopped cilantro for the sauce.
After baking, let the cauliflower cool for 5 minutes, then toss in the sauce and serve.
