Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. NOTE: Doing this step is a MUST to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, add the milk, flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, basil, and smoked paprika, and whisk together until combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In ziplock bag, add the crushed corn flakes and breadcrumbs together and shake them together until well combined and blended.
Step 4
Now, dip each cauliflower into batter (shaking off any excess) and then add it into the coating mixture within the ziplock bag, shaking everything together until cauliflower bite is well coated. Then lay each cauliflower side by side on the baking sheet (about an inch apart). Repeat until all cauliflower are coated.
Step 5
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and “crunchy” looking. NOTE: If not crispy enough, turn on broil and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Step 6
Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and whisk together until it begins to boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and let everything simmer for another 2-3 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Stir in the 3 Tbsps of BBQ sauce.
Step 7
Once cauliflowers are crisp, remove from oven and toss them in the sauce until fully coated. Sprinkle with your favorite garnish---parsley, etc., if desired.
Step 8
To serve, add cauliflower wings/bites to a salad, tacos, atop pasta, as a topping on pizza, with quinoa or rice, or by themselves with Ranch dipping sauce.

Bon Appetit!
