These spicy cauliflower bites get a golden crunch from being baked, not fried.

Equipment

  • Baking tray
  • Large mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 100 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp jerk spice mix
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 175 ml oat milk
  • 1 whole cauliflower leaves removed, broken into large bite-size florets
  • 1/2-1 tsp hot sauce to taste (it's pretty hot!)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Method

  • To make the batter, mix together plain flour, jerk spice mix, garlic powder and oat milk in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°FC/Gas 5. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Dip the cauliflower florets, one at a time, into the thick, spicy batter until coated all over. Let them drip a little over the bowl to remove any excess batter, then place them slightly spaced apart on the lined baking tray.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, turning once, until light golden all over and the batter sets.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the hot sauce, maple syrup and sunflower oil.
  • Carefully remove the baking tray from the oven. Brush the hot sauce mixture over the cauliflower bites until coated, then put the tray back in the oven for another 20 minutes until golden. Place in a serving bowl then tuck in, dunking them into a sweet chilli mayo, if you like.
