- For the cauliflower bites:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour can also use almond flour for gluten free and low carb
- ½ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine the batter ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
- Then, dip and cover each cauliflower piece completely.
- On a parchment lined baking sheet either lay them out in a single layer, or lay them on top of wire rack over the baking sheet so that the excess batter can drip off.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Remove cauliflower from oven and enjoy immediately with the sauce!
