1 head cauliflower
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup cornstarch
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup water
0.5 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and water until smooth and lump-free.
- Dredge the cauliflower florets in the batter until fully coated, then roll in panko breadcrumbs to cover completely.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the cauliflower in batches until golden brown.
- Transfer fried cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes for extra crispiness.
- While the cauliflower is baking, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and honey in a small bowl to make the bang bang sauce.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven, drizzle with the bang bang sauce, and toss gently to coat evenly before serving.
