Ingredients
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste
For the cauliflower:
- One large head cauliflower
- ½ cup brown rice flour (can use all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup almond milk or your milk of choice
Instructions
- Stir together the ingredients for the Bang Bang Sauce in a bowl and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F, and spray a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets. The smaller they are, the faster they will cook and softer they will get.
- Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
- Toss the cauliflower in the batter until thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until slightly less done than you want them.
- Remove from the oven and gently flip the cauliflower. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl, pour over the Bang Bang Sauce (you can reserve some for dipping, if desired), and gently toss to coat.
