Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets to the wet ingredients and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Transfer the coated cauliflower to the dry ingredients and toss until each floret is well-coated.
  6. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with any remaining bang bang sauce if desired.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy cauliflower, ensure the florets are well-coated and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
  • Adjust the sriracha amount to control the spice level.
  • You can use almond milk or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
