Bang Bang Cauliflower

Name: Bang Bang Cauliflower
Cook time: 15 min
Ingredients: 4 Tbsp kewpie mayo; 1.5 Tbsp sweet chili sauce; 1 Tbsp srircha sauce; 0.5 tsp honey; 0.5 tsp rice vinegar; 0.25 tsp salt; 1 head cauliflower (cut into equal florets); 0.5 cup all-purpose flour; 0.75 cup milk or milk alternative; 2 tsp garlic powder; 2 tsp smoked paprika; 0.5 tsp cayenne powder; 1.5 tsp salt; black pepper (freshly ground)

Cauliflower is one of my favorite vegetables because it is so versatile and is so delicious any way you wanna eat it. This time, I breaded and air fried the cauliflower florets so they come out nice and crispy. Then I served them with a creamy, spicy bang bang sauce that goes perfectly with each bite. Hope you enjoy!
