Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan).
  • Start by making the bang bang sauce. Place the mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, sriracha, and honey in a small bowl and mix together, then put to one side while you make the crispy cauliflower.
  • Place the buttermilk, egg, garlic salt, white pepper and salt in a bowl and lightly whisk to combine.
  • Place the panko, paprika, remaining salt, pepper, garlic salt, celery salt, white pepper, and olive oil in a second bowl and mix together until the olive oil is combined with the breadcrumbs evenly.
  • Dip the cauliflower pieces in the buttermilk mixture to coat, then dredge in the panko mixture.
  • Place the coated cauliflower on a baking tray.
  • Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and the coating is golden.
  • Transfer the cooked crispy cauliflower to a serving bowl and drizzle over half the sauce.
  • Sprinkle over the spring onions and sliced chilli, then serve with the remaining bang bang sauce for dipping.
