Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed)
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
2-3 green onions (sliced, plus more for serving)
1 1/2 tbsp corn starch (or 2 tbsp of arrowroot powder)
1 small head of cauliflower (chopped in large florets)
1 cup whole wheat flour (or the flour of your choice, choose gluten-free if necessary)
1 cup water
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free if necessary)

Steps:

Pre-heat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, water, onion and garlic powder until there are no clumps anymore. Set aside. In a medium shallow bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Then, one at the time, sink the florets completely in the flour-water batter, remove the excess (I simply hit the side of the bowl with the floret) and then roll the pieces in the panko to cover them as much as you can. Place the pieces on the baking sheet and keep going until all the cauliflower pieces are covered.
Cook in the oven for 15 minutes, then flip the pieces and cook for 15 more minutes.
While the cauliflower bites are cooking, make the teriyaki sauce: In a small sauce pan, combine all the sauce ingredients and whisk until there are no clumps anymore. Cook on medium-high heat until bubbly while stirring often. Once bubbly, keep whisking for 30-60 seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
When the cauliflower is done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour over about half to 3/4 of the sauce (or just enough to cover the pieces, I like to keep some for drizzling). Stir gently until all the pieces are covered with the sauce.
Serve over cooked brown rice with a side of veggies and drizzle with the extra teriyaki sauce. Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the right cauliflower. For the best results, use a head of cauliflower that is fresh and firm. Avoid any heads that are bruised or have brown spots.
Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets. This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook all the way through.
Use a light touch when coating the cauliflower. You don't want to weigh it down with too much cornstarch or sauce.
Cook the cauliflower until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooking will make it mushy.
Serve the cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. It is also great as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki cauliflower bites are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little bit of planning, you can even make them ahead of time. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give teriyaki cauliflower bites a try.
