What you need for this Bang Bang Cauliflower Recipe

As always, I keep it simple. No need to get fancy!

• Breadcrumbs

How to make Bang Bang Cauliflower

First combine in a bowl the Bang Bang Sauce, flour, coconut milk, seasoning. Mix with a wire whisk or spatula until well combined.

Add cauliflower florets, season with salt and pepper, mix until well coated. If you use the optional breadcrumbs coat them as well in the cauliflower mix.

Heat a skillet with oil. Make sure the oil is hot, then add cauliflower fry for around 2.5 minutes from each side.

Serve hot on plates, enjoy.

This Bang Bang Cauliflower is delicious plain but I would guess it is also delicious served with rice.

It makes such an amazing option for any easy meal for lunch, dinner, meal prep.

Tips and tricks

Always make sure the oil is hot when frying. Only this way you will get the best results.

Baked cauliflower: you can make a oven version. For this preheat oven to 425°F and after marinating the cauliflower use a bit oil on top, but honestly the result will be different.

It will work but the result will not be as crispy and texture perfect which you only can reach with frying.

Can I made these in a air fryer? I haven’t tried that because I don’t own an air fryer myself, but I would say why not. I heard that all the time you can achieve crispy results with an air fryer as well. Let me know how it goes, can’t wait for your feedback guys.

Can I freeze this? I wouldn’t recommend it, because it will get mushy and you’ve never get the texture right.

But instead you can make them ahead and store them in the fridge for around 3 days covered and fry later.
