Ingredients to make teriyaki cauliflower

how to make teriyaki cauliflower

Start by cutting a head of cauliflower into bite sized pieces.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Preparing the batter and breading

In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the cauliflower batter: water, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

Place the panko bread crumbs in a separate bowl. These will be the breading for the cauliflower bites.

Dip each cauliflower wing in the batter, shake off the excess, then roll in the panko bread crumbs. Once coated, place the cauliflower bites onto the prepared baking sheet.

Baking the cauliflower bites

Bake the cauliflower bites at 425 degrees for 20 – 30 minutes, flipping at least once, until they are crispy on all sides.

Making the teriyaki sauce

During the last 15 minutes of the bake time, go ahead and prepare the homemade teriyaki sauce.

The recipe is linked in the ingredient section located at the bottom of this post.

The sauce only takes about 10 minutes to make and only a few minutes to prep.

You will never go back to store bought teriyaki sauce again after trying this recipe!

Coating the cauliflower wings in teriyaki sauce

Once the little bites of cauliflower are crispy on all sides, toss them with the homemade teriyaki sauce.

You can garnish with white sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.

I enjoyed this by itself, but this teriyaki cauliflower would also be delicious served over white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, or your favorite stir fry noodles!

The outside stays crispy while the inside is so tender and perfectly cooked.

This might just be my new favorite cauliflower recipe!
