It is a real challenge, isn’t it, to walk that fine line between treating yourself and eating healthy. Sometimes it seems impossible to do both. Not so with this recipe that your entire family will enjoy. Set up a dipping station, and the process goes fairly quickly. While the cauliflower is roasting, make your Bang Bang Sauce. If there’s any sauce left over, use it for dipping vegetables, tater tots, french fries, or on a burger for Bang Bang Burgers.

Bang Bang Cauliflower

2 large eggs, beaten with 1 T. water

½ c. flour

1 c. panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Separate head of cauliflower into bite-size, but large-ish florettes.

In a medium shallow bowl, combine panko with paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Coat cauliflower first in flour, then egg, and then the panko mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake 15 minutes, carefully turn them over, and bake 10-12 minutes more, until tender. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

While cauliflower is baking, make Bang Bang Sauce (recipe below).

Serve cauliflower with drizzled with Bang Bang Sauce (or as a dipping sauce on the side).

Bang Bang Sauce

½ c. mayonnaise

¼ c. sweet chili sauce
