Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets rinsed
  • 1/2 cup white rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons Ener-G egg replacer whisked with 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1/2 lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced (for serving)
  • 1 handful cilantro finely chopped (for serving)

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat
  • Three mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Prepare three bowls: one with rice flour, one with the Ener-G mixture, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the rice flour, then the Ener-G mixture, and finally roll it in panko breadcrumbs, placing them on the baking sheet.
  4. Lightly spray the florets with oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 15 minutes. Flip them and bake for another 10 minutes.
  5. While baking, whisk together vegan mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice for the bang bang sauce.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done, drizzle with the sauce and garnish with green onions and cilantro. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider double-coating the florets with the flour, Ener-G, and panko. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days; reheat in the oven for best results. If you prefer mild flavors, swap out the sriracha in the sauce for a milder hot sauce or omit it altogether. Enjoy!
