Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, plant-based milk, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, shake off excess, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the florets are golden and crispy.
Remove from oven, toss cauliflower in BBQ sauce, and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the bowl by layering cooked brown rice or quinoa with lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and red onion.
Top with the BBQ cauliflower bites and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

You can use store-bought or homemade BBQ sauce.
Make it spicier by adding a dash of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce.
Great for meal prep – keep components separate until ready to serve.
