Ingredients
  

For the cauliflower:

  • 1 large head cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Bang Bang sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or vegan mayo
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar optional for extra tang

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil.
  • In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss the oiled cauliflower in the almond flour mixture until well coated.
  • Spread cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • While cauliflower is roasting, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free sriracha, sweetener, and vinegar to make the sauce.
  • When cauliflower is done, transfer to a large bowl and gently toss with the sauce until evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use an air fryer at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less sriracha to taste.
  • For added crunch, top with crushed pork rinds or chopped nuts (if not vegetarian).
