Makes: 6 servings

These healthy yet indulgent cauliflower bites are coated in a spicy honey-garlic sauce, tossed with panko breadcrumbs, baked to crispy perfection, then topped with fresh green onion slices!

1 c. all-purpose flour (I used gluten free)

2 c. panko breadcrumbs (I used gluten free panko) 

3 large eggs, beaten

1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets

1/3 c. honey

1/3 c. soy sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 1 lime

1 tbsp. sriracha

1/4 c. water

2 tsp. corn starch

1/4 c. Sliced green onions

1. Preheat oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with foil.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and cauliflower, toss until fully coated. Set up a dredging station: In one bowl, add panko breadcrumbs and in another bowl whisk eggs and add 2 tablespoons water. Dip cauliflower in beaten eggs, then panko until fully coated. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Make the sauce - In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water, until the cornstarch dissolves completely then set aside. Combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice and Sriracha in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture reaches a boil, reduce heat and add the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a simmer again and cook until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
4. Toss cooked cauliflower in sauce until evenly coated. Return the cauliflower to the baking sheet and broil for 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Garnish with lots of green onions and serve hot!
