Ingredients

Bang Bang Sauce

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 3 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Cauliflower

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • ½ cup flour I used brown rice flour but I have seen similar recipes where regular all purpose flour was used
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup milk of choice; I used almond milk

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 softer 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.
