🍽️ Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prep the Cauliflower
Cut into evenly sized florets for uniform cooking.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Whisk flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Slowly add milk, whisking until smooth.
Step 4: Coat the Florets
Dip each piece into the batter, letting excess drip off.
Step 5: Add the Crunch
Combine panko and Parmesan (if using). Roll each floret in the mix, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place florets on the baking sheet in a single layer. Spray tops with olive oil. Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
Step 7: Whip Up the Sauce (Optional)
Mix yogurt, sriracha, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Chill until serving.
Step 8: Serve Hot
Enjoy straight from the oven with dipping sauce on the side.
