Crispy Honey Ginger Cauliflower Bites
These cauliflower bites are battered, fried until super crunchy, and tossed in a sticky honey ginger sauce. I’ve made these Crispy Honey Ginger Cauliflower Bites more times than I can count the last two weeks, it’s very easy to make, and is one of the most addicting veggie side dish this winter!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- Cauliflower
- Honey
- Fresh Ginger
- Soy Sauce
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Flour
- Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Paprika
- Olive Oil
- Neutral Frying Oil
I’ve tried this recipe with a few different varieties of Cauliflower, such as:
- White Cauliflower
- Green Romanesco Cauliflower
- Orange Cauliflower
- Purple Cauliflower
And they all taste SO amazing!! The purple cauliflower are such a treat during the Fall and Winter seasons as they offer a more mild and slightly sweet flavor. Highly recommend checking out your local farmers markets in search of them!

- 1 head Cauliflower sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tsp. each: Black Pepper, Paprika, & Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 3/4 cup Hot Water
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1-2 ” Fresh Ginger minced
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tbsp. Sesame Seeds

Instructions

- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together.
- Add the hot water and whisk until smooth. The batter should be silky and thick like cake batter, add more water as needed.
- Add the chopped cauliflower into the bowl and toss until very well coated in the batter.
- Working in small batches, fry the cauliflower for 3-4 minutes, until crispy and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon to place on paper towel lined plate.
- (Optional) After frying all the cauliflower, work in small batches once again to deep fry them a second time for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Set the cauliflower aside.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil and minced ginger. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the soy sauce, honey, flour, and sesame seeds. Whisk until flour is absorbed by the liquids. Stir in 1/2 – 3/4 cup of water, depending on how thick you want the sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then add the the fried cauliflower to toss until well coated in the sticky sauce. Enjoy warm!

I’ve missed honey sesame chicken since I went pescatarian at the beginning of the year and this was such a perfect replacement! Maybe even better since I didn’t like the taste of chicken to begin with 😂 I’m about to make it for my second time today!
Sooo deliciousss I replaced the honey with maple syrup and it tasted amazing definitely will be making this again.
This worked exactly as written, thanks!
Just made this for the first time and it was incredible!! It packs so much crunch and flavor! I also made it with a cauliflower grown in my own garden, and topped with some homegrown green onions to boot. 🙂 What a wonderful recipe. Thank you!
