Vegan Bang Bang Broccoli Ⓥ

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 stalks of Broccoli
• 2 cups of plant milk, I used Soy milk
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp hot sauce
• 4 tbsp Agave nectar
• 1/2 cup Vegan mayo
• 1 tbsp chili paste
• 1 & 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornstarch
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

METHOD:

• Make the sauce first by whisking together the vegan mayo, agave & chili paste. Set aside. Cut broccoli into florets & preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In 3 separate bowls, set up a dredging station. Bowl 1 will be the vegan buttermilk. To make it, add the plant milk, hot sauce & apple cider vinegar to this bowl and whisk together & set it aside for a few minutes while you prepare the other bowls.
• Add the flour, cornstarch, salt & pepper to the second bowl & the vegan panko breadcrumbs to the 3rd bowl.
• Add the broccoli florets to the buttermilk mixture, the flour mixture, back to the buttermilk mixture & then the breadcrumbs.
• Bake them on a pan lined with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats or like cooking spray at 425F for 15 minutes, flip the broccoli over and then back for 10-15 minutes more. Cover with the sauce & serve with your favorite sides.
