Change up your dinner with this Keto Bang Bang Cauliflower dish that comes out crispy and golden! It’s a great alternative to stay low carb with a bit of kick!
Cauliflower is great for many dishes as it can be mashed up for a side dish, chopped up as an alternative for rice and even used for a pizza crust. If you’ve been having a craving for the bang bang sauce this one tastes just like it and so much healthier for you. Enjoy!
Keto Bang Bang Cauliflower
Serves 4 at 1/4 cup per serving
Ingredients
1/2 large head of cauliflower
1 large egg
1 tbsp heavy cream
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup almond flour
1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Pork King Good breadcrumbs
Bang Bang Sauce Ingredients
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp chili paste
1 tsp sriracha
1 tbsp granular erythritol
1 tsp lime juice
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk egg with heavy cream. Set aside. In a medium size baking bowl whisk together almond flour and cheese. Set aside.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip cauliflower in the egg wash. I put a few pieces in at a time and used a spoon to coat the cauliflower. After it is fully coated, shake it a few times, to shake off any excess egg dripping back into the bowl before adding it to the breading. You don’t want the egg dripping going into the breading since the moisture will cause the breading to clump and it will be harder to stick to the cauliflower.
Place the cauliflower piece into the bowl of Pork King Good breadcrumbs, use your fingers to apply a little pressure so the breading sticks to the cauliflower. Once coated, set the cauliflower onto a clean baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cauliflower.
To deep fry the cauliflower, pour cooking oil into a pot. When the oil reaches 350F, gently add a few pieces of breaded cauliflower, stir the cauliflower a few times to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook until a deep golden brown. Remove cauliflower and place onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining cauliflower.
Add all sauce ingredients into a small bowl, whisking until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. If you prefer less spicy you can use less sriracha.
Drizzle Keto Bang Bang sauce over cauliflower. I have found it’s better to drizzle the sauce over the cauliflower to prevent the breading from getting soft from the sauce.
Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
