Ingredients

  • Cooking spray

  • 1 ¼ cups unsweetened plain almond milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided

  • 2 tablespoons onion powder, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided

  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground pepper, divided

  • 8 cups cauliflower florets (from 1 medium head)

  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs

  • ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

  • 3 ½ tablespoons Buffalo-style hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)

  • ¼ cup celery leaves (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Whisk almond milk, flour, cayenne, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 tablespoons onion powder and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl to form a loose batter. Add cauliflower; toss well to coat.

  2. Place panko in another large bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cauliflower from the batter, letting excess drip off. Add the cauliflower to the panko; toss to coat. Arrange the breaded cauliflower on the prepared pan; coat the cauliflower liberally with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, dill, vinegar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.

  4. Arrange the cauliflower on a platter; drizzle with hot sauce. Drizzle the dressing over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with celery leaves, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
