Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 220 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
  2. 2In a first bowl, mix the flour, plant-based drink, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt to get a smooth, thick mixture (similar to pancake batter).
  3. 3Pour the panko breadcrumbs into a second bowl. Dip each cauliflower floret first into the wet mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumbs so it is evenly coated.
  4. 4Arrange the florets on the baking sheet so they don't touch. Drizzle them lightly with olive oil and bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5While baking, in a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey, hot sauce and vinegar. Stir just enough for the ingredients to combine into a syrup.
  6. 6Remove the baked cauliflower from the oven, transfer it to a clean bowl and pour the prepared sauce over it. Toss quickly and serve immediately.
