Cauliflower Bites

Method

Cauliflower Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and cut it into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add in the water and stir until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Shake off any excess batter.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil. Place the coated cauliflower florets on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Spicy Aioli

  1. 5

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.

  2. 6

    Season the Aioli

    Taste the aioli and add salt to your preference. Mix well and set aside until ready to serve.
