Bang Bang Cauliflower

Healthy Fact of the Day

Bang Bang Cauliflower is a flavorful way to enjoy vegetables, but you can make it even healthier by baking instead of frying to reduce oil and calories. Use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for added fiber, and swap regular mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or a light mayo to lower fat content while keeping the creamy texture. Cauliflower itself is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber to support digestion and overall health. The Sriracha and honey in the sauce add bold flavor with minimal calories, making this dish a satisfying and nutritious snack or appetizer option. Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal!

    Ingredients

    • 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.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Creamy Low Carb Chicken Casserole

    Creamy Low Carb Chicken Casserole offers a comforting, protein-packed meal with wholesome ingredients. The chicken breasts provide lean protein to support muscle health, while broccoli adds fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. Using heavy cream, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese delivers richness and healthy fats that align with low-carb or keto diets. For a lighter option, you can substitute part of the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk or use reduced-fat cheese. The garlic and onion powders add flavor without adding carbs, and seasoning to taste with salt and pepper allows you to control sodium levels. This dish is a satisfying way to enjoy comfort food while sticking to low-carb goals. Pair it with a side of leafy greens for added nutrients and balance.
