Totally Vegan Sriracha Cauliflower Bites

You want these.
Trust me.



Vegan. Not vegan. I don't care.
You. Want. To. Eat. This.

This was one or our first Vegan foods that didn't come from a box and it's a huge hit. We've even made it for non-vegan friends, and guess what, they love it too! Even our kids love them.

You're welcome.

What you need:
1 whole head of cauliflower
1/4 cup (or 1/2c for more spice) Sriracha (or another hot sauce. Buffalo Sauce is tasty too)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (we usually omit this if we're feeding it to our tiny humans)
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup (or more because we like it) nutritional yeast (optional.. but why not)

What you do:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees (F)

Mix the flour, milk, 1/2t salt, 1/2t pepper, garlic powder, sriracha, and 1/2t red pepper flakes (and optional nutritional yeast - because YAY for nutritional yeast!) in a bowl.

Take all the florets off you cauliflower and chop them into bit size chunks.

Mix your florets into your mixture until well coated.

In another bowl, mix your panko breadcrumbs and the remaining salt, pepper, and red pepper (and go ahead and toss in some more nutritional yeast, because B12, brah!)

Toss your cauliflower into your bread crumb mixture a bit at a time until they are all coated.
Spread them out on a sprayed baking sheet and spray some cooking spray on top of your bites (this helps crisp them up during baking without having to flip them. Umm. Yes please!)

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes.
Remove and serve immediately (why would you want to wait anyway?!)

The bites are tasty on their own or with a dipping sauce or (my favorite way) topped on a salad.

Enjoy!
