Ingredients

½ head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup breadcrumbs
Batter
½ cup flour
⅔ cup plant milk
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp onion powder
Sticky Sauce
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
¼ cup water
1 ½ tbsp cornflour mixed with 1 tbspwater

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Mix together batter ingredients in one bowl and place breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Place florets one by one in the batter to coat well then in the breadcrumbs.
Line two trays with baking paper and place battered and breadcrumbed cauliflower well spaced apart on the trays. Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes until golden brown, swapping trays halfway.
While the cauliflower florets are baking, make the sauce by heating olive oil in a saucepan and frying the garlic until fragrant. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients (except the cornflour mix) and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to medium-high and add in the cornflour mix, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Once cauliflower is cooked, add to a bowl and coat in the sticky sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
