Mairead's cauliflower bites with a chipotle spiced dip

Lovely Mairead, from our team here at Breast Cancer Now makes these scrumptious savoury snacks which are a tasty addition to any event.

For the bites
1 large cauliflower
150g plain flour
300ml of milk (or plant-based alternative)
2 tsp of paprika powder
1 ½ tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of garlic powder
Salt and pepper
100g breadcrumbs

For the dip
3 tsp of chipotle hot sauce (or more if you like spice!)
A squeeze of lemon
120g natural yoghurt (or plant-based alternative)
Herbs to garnish

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C and line two baking trays.
  2. Break the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, steam or boil until cooked.
  3. Put the flour, milk, paprika, onion and garlic powder into a bowl and whisk into a batter. Add the salt and pepper and whisk again.
  4. In another bowl pour in the breadcrumbs.
  5. Tip the cauliflower into the bowl and coat in the batter, transfer each floret of cauliflower into the breadcrumbs and toss until they are completely coated.
  6. Put the cauliflower pieces on the baking tray and bake for 40 minutes (or until golden brown).
  7. For the dip, in a bowl add the natural yoghurt, chipotle hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon. Mix well together, taste and adjust the spice if needed!
  8. Add the herb garnish and serve immediately whilst the cauliflower bites are still hot.
