Ingredients
– 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
– 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
– 1 cup water
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
– Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Sweet Chili Cauliflower Bites:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
3. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
4. Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once all the florets are on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy.
7. Add the Sauce: In the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the cauliflower from the oven and brush it generously with sweet chili sauce. Return it to the oven to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
