Ingredients

Scale

For the BBQ Cauliflower Bites:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus more for drizzling)

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or cilantro

  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, plant milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to form a smooth batter.

  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, shake off the excess, and place on the baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and toss the cauliflower in BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes until crispy and sticky.

  5. While cauliflower bakes, prep your bowl ingredients: cook rice or quinoa, slice avocado, chop veggies, and get toppings ready.

  6. Assemble the bowls by adding a base of rice or quinoa, then top with BBQ cauliflower bites, cabbage, tomatoes, avocado, and green onions or cilantro.

  7. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce and a squeeze of lime. Serve warm!

Notes

  • You can use store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce—smoky, sweet, or spicy, it’s your call.

  • Make it a wrap or taco instead of a bowl for a fun variation.

  • Add vegan ranch or tahini drizzle for extra creaminess.

  • Great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
