We’ve crafted a culinary treat as explosive in flavour as the fireworks themselves. Get ready to savour the crackling goodness of our Bang Bang Cauliflower, a dish designed to spark your taste buds with every bite.

Our bang bang cauliflower can be enjoyed as a tasty savoury snack, starter or even as a side dish to a main meal….although given that it packs a punch in terms of flavour, it really should be the star of the show.
Ingredients
For the Cauliflower:
- 300 grams cauliflower florets
- 50 grams whole wheat flour
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
- 60 grams Greek yogurt
- 15 grams mayonnaise
- 15 grams honey
- 15 grams Sriracha sauce
- 5 ml rice vinegar
- 5 ml lime juice
- 5 grams Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
Method
- Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg.
- In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well-coated, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Cauliflower:
- Bake the cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until it’s golden brown and crispy. Turn the cauliflower halfway through the baking time for even browning.
- Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, mayonnaise, honey, Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the spice level and sweetness to your liking by adding more Sriracha or honey if needed.
- Serve:
- Once the cauliflower is crispy and golden, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the baked cauliflower or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Serve your Bang Bang Cauliflower hot and enjoy!
