It always feels like a “win” when I come up with a healthy dish that my children devour. So, I obviously felt like the queen of the universe when I made Baked Honey-Garlic Cauliflower Bites that were a hit.

This recipe was born out of a craving I had for honey-garlic wings. My eldest is allergic to chicken, so I decided to make some modifications to this Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites recipe and toss it with some homemade gluten-free honey-garlic sauce.

I had originally intended to serve this dish as a side, but the honey-garlic sauce was so flavorful that I decided to serve on its own on a bed of rice with a drizzle of sriracha hot sauce. It was ridiculously delicious, and will definitely be on my weekly dinner rotation going forward.

How to make Baked Honey-Garlic Cauliflower Bites

Ingredients

Cauliflower Bites:

• 1 head cauliflower chopped into bite sized florets
• 1/2 cup gluten-free flour any gf flour or gf flour blend can work
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water

Gluten-free Honey Garlic Sauce:

• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup tamari
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450F. Chop cauliflower into bite sized florets and set aside.
• Whisk the gluten-free flour, water and salt in a small bowl. For a thinner consistency, add more water.
• Dip the cauliflower into the batter and place on a parchment paper lined baking tray. Be careful not to make the batter too thick on the cauliflower.
• Bake the cauliflower in the middle rack for 25 minutes.
• Make the Honey Garlic Sauce while the cauliflower is in the oven. Mix honey, tamari, garlic, ginger and olive oil in a small bowl.
• Remove the cauliflower from the heat and coat with the Honey Garlic sauce. Bake for another 15 minutes until crisp.
