Bang Bang cauliflower is a super speedy veggie recipe that packs a real fiery kick. Roasted charred cauliflower is tossed in the spicy, sweet and sour sauce. Many recipes involve deep frying but roasting gives a great charred flavour, healthier and involves much less washing up! Serve with some steamed rice and simple stir-fried greens for a veggie Asian inspired feast. Swap the honey for agave syrup to make it vegan.

Ingredients

1 Head of Cauliflower or Romanesco
2 Cloves Garlic (Finely Sliced)
1 Onion (Finely Sliced)
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Sunflower Oil
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Sesame Seeds

For the sauce

50ml Sriracha Sauce
3 tbsp Soy Sauce
5 tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce

Method

Step 1.

Pre heat your oven to 200c. Cut your romanesco cauliflower into florets and place in a large mixing bowl along with the onion, garlic, sesame oil, sunflower oil and soy sauce. Place on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 mins then sprinkle over the sesame seeds and bake for another 10 mins until well roasted and cooked through.
