Bang Bang Cauliflower

This is amazing!!! I've made it twice and it's in permanent rotation! It's crispy and the Bang Bang Sauce is the perfect amount of heat. I have been on a yellow rice kick and that's what a made to serve with this dish and some sautéed asparagus. Just use whatever rice and veggie you have on hand.

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sambal oelek 
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup


Cauliflower:
  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup unsweet almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup Panko 

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

Add the panko to a different bowl.

Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut cauliflower into bite sized pieces. In a third bowl mix the flour, sambal oelek, cornstarch, milk, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic and onion powder. Stir well. This should be a thick batter. If you think it's too thick you can add another tablespoon of milk. Toss the cauliflower into this batter. Then move to the panko. Put on baking sheet with a little space between them.

Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Remove from oven and toss them in the sauce. Coat them well and move them back to the baking sheet.

Bake for another 2-4 minutes for the sauce to soak in.

Remove from oven and serve. I served these over yellow rice and garnished with sliced scallion and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!!!
