# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Mix mayo, rice vinegar, sweet chili, and Sriracha in a small bowl. Taste it and add more heat if you want.
02 - Lay your crumb-coated cauliflower on parchment on a tray. Drizzle olive oil on top. Bake in the oven at 215°C for about 20 to 25 minutes until you see a crispy golden color.
03 - Toss the cauliflower in the Bang Bang dip just after baking so every bite is saucy and delicious. Eat right away for the best crunch.
04 - Take the cauliflower pieces dipped in batter and coat them well with Panko crumbs. Make sure each floret is covered.
05 - Break cauliflower into small pieces. Mix flour, milk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder in a bowl until smooth. Dip the pieces in this mix.
06 - Set your oven to 215°C, using natural convection or just regular heat. Get it hot before you bake.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - You can air fry these for a lighter option but cooking time will change. Add more Sriracha if you want it spicy. Best eaten right away to keep it crispy.
