Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the milk and whisk until smooth.
Step 4: Coat the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Step 5: Add the Breadcrumb Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Roll each coated floret in the mixture, pressing gently so it sticks.
Step 6: Bake
Arrange the cauliflower on the baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Step 7: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sriracha, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8: Serve
Serve the cauliflower bites hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
