Bang Bang Cauliflower


Bang Bang Cauliflower by @plantbased.traveler 

 These delicious, roasted, sweet ‘n spicy sticky Bang Bang Cauliflower Bites aren’t like cauliflower wings as they’re not dipped in batter but are meant to be served as a topping for salad, rice or noodle dishes, or as filling for some tacos! 


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 each of paprika, garlic and onion powder 

Optional: 
Sesame seeds 
Chopped cilantro 

Method:
Preheat oven to 425 F/ 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. Use a spoon or spatula to make sure everything is evenly coated. 
Spread cauliflower bites on a lined baking sheet, and bake them for 35-40 minutes. 
After every 15 minutes, give them a stir, and coat with any sauce that may have spread or run off. 
Since they’re not dipped in batter they won’t crisp up like cauliflower wings but should be a little charred, and deliciously caramelized when done. 
Top with sesame seeds and cilantro, and enjoy! 

Tip: Add more or less sriracha to your preference! Double the sauce to have extra for drizzling or dipping.
