Skinny Bang Bang Cauliflower Tacos

eggs

brown rice flour

all purpose flour

panko breadcrumbs

salt + pepper

mayo

sweet chili sauce

Sriracha

lime juiced

honey

rice vinegar

Tortillas or flatbread

green cabbage (shredded)

purple cabbage (shredded)

cherry tomatoes (halved)

chopped cilantro

onions (chopped)

Sriracha (for topping (optional))

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Set up a station with 3 large bowls. In the first bowl sift together the brown rice flour and all purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat together the 3 eggs. Finally, in the last bowl add the panko bread crumbs with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

Working in batches place some of the washed and still wet cauliflower in the flour bowl first. Toss to coat. Pick up the cauliflower (hands work best here) and shake off any excess flour. Gently place the coated cauliflower in the egg and toss to coat. Finally (again, hands work best), pick up the cauliflower and coat with the panko breadcrumbs.

Place each cauliflower floret on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Repeat until all cauliflower has been coated and prepared.

Place the prepared cauliflower in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden. Remove, flip the cauliflower and continue to bake an additional 5-10 minutes, or until golden all over. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

While the cauliflower cooks in the oven, prepare ingredients for the tacos- shred the cabbage, halve the tomatoes and chop the cilantro and green onions.

Finally, in a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce, and season to taste as needed. Store prepared sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Build your tacos :) Start with a small layer of sauce followed by cabbage, bang bang cauliflower, more sauce, green onions and cilantro, tomatoes and (if you like things really spicy) extra Sriracha.

First prepare the cauliflower

Delicious!  I used sambal oelek instead of Sriracha and hot pepper jelly instead of sweet chili sauce and it was still good.

This was a delicious and simple dish to make. I doubled the batch and happy I did.

Omg so amazing this is a go to recipe forever! I couldn't find sriracha in a pinch so I increased the chili sauce and it was delicious!

This recipe looks amazing, Jess! I love cauliflower so I would definitely love this dish. :)

They were perfect!! Thanks for this amazing recipe Jess!

This was SUCH a great dish to make for dinner - it’s fast, uses relatively cheap ingredients, and is SUPER delicious! Highly recommend trying it out :)

Great idea for an appetizer at a potluck.

Best cauliflower recipe I’ve ever had!!! And so easy to make. I’m obsessed

We made the fried version with regular milk in the batter and it’s really delicious!!!

Made this exactly as directed with one exception- I used cornflake crumbs instead of flour for the topping- added extra crisp! Delicious!!!

I made this dish and it was so easy and quick to make! The guide was super useful; as well as the video and I love the taste!

Hallo, this is your first recipe that I made and it was fantastic, reminded me of one similar dish I had in Bali, but could never get it as crunchy as with your recipe! I managed to nail it from the third time, thanks to you:-) Thanks!

Yum - just tried this in a smaller portion - using just the 50/50 mix of flour and milk and was quite worried.

However, instead of making a sauce I used Wagamama's fire cracker sauce with a tiny drop of hoisin and some soy and a little MSG.

Absolutely great result - crispy but saucey

Thanks

Have made it a couple of times as a snack, absolutely love it. The kids loved it too and they didn’t even realise they were eating a vegetable . I will definitely be making it again 😋

The flavor is amazing so giving it five stars because I’m thinking I may have had some user error going on. When I tossed the cauliflower in the sauce after it had baked, all the breading fell off so I was left with baked cauliflower and a bunch of tasty breading on the side. So I just ate it with a spoon. 🤣

Absolutely love this recipe. So good and even the kids enjoyed it.

Bang bang sauce is a creamy sweet and spicy chili sauce that is easy to make. I use it in a lot of recipes for dipping chicken, seafood, vegetables, just about anything really. In this recipe, I drizzle it over some crispy baked cauliflower for an easy main dish or appetizer.

panko bread crumbs

eggs (whisked)

tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped (optional, for garnish))

tbsp sweet chili sauce

hot sauce (I used sriracha)

light/low fat mayonnaise

tbsp honey

Preheat oven to 400°F. Dip cauliflower&nbsp;pieces in egg and then roll in panko until fully coated and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You will need to use your fingers to&nbsp;press on the coating to help it to stick to the cauliflower bites. Repeat until all cauliflower&nbsp;is coated.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until coating is a dark golden brown and crunchy.&nbsp;

While cauliflower is cooking, make the bang bang sauce. Add all ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until uniform and no mayonnaise lumps remain. Drizzle over finished cauliflower, reserving additional for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Bang Bang Cauliflower is a delicious and healthy twist on the classic bang bang shrimp. Crispy cauliflower baked in the oven then tossed in a creamy sweet and spicy vegan mayo sauce. You can bake it in the oven or cook it in an air fryer!

Best Bang Bang Cauliflower

cashew vegan mayo or tofu mayonnaise

maple syrup

sriracha sauce

organic unbleached all-purpose flour

cornstarch

garlic powder

onion powder

chili powder

paprika

white pepper

buttermilk

Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the bang bang sauce in the fridge while you make the cauliflower.

Prepare the Bang Bang sauce

Prepare the bang bang sauce by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set it in the fridge while you make cauliflower.

Preheat your oven to 450˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

NOTE: If you haven&#8217;t prepared the vegan buttermilk do this now so it can sit for 1-2 minutes.

Add all of the dry ingredients, except for the panko breadcrumbs, to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Pour in the buttermilk and whisk until it forms a smooth batter.

OPTIONAL: Stir a little extra sriracha into the batter to add a little kick.

Place the cauliflower florets into the batter and gently toss until they are all evenly coated. Add the panko breadcrumbs to the batter and stir again.

Set the battered cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer, it&#8217;s best if they don&#8217;t touch, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

OPTIONAL

Once the Bang Bang cauliflower has finished baking toss it in a bowl with half of the Bang Bang sauce. Place the florets back on the baking tray and bake for 1-2 minutes. 

Remove from cauliflower from the oven, add to a bowl, and cover or drizzle with as much bang bang sauce as you like.
