Keto Bang Bang Cauliflower has just the right amount of sweet heat from the easy to make Bang Bang Sauce! It is a delicious side that works just as well as an appetizer. You are going to love this crispy, sweet, and spicy cauliflower!
Is it just me, or is cauliflower the super-hero of the vegetable world?
It never ceases to amaze me at all the ways you can use it: Mac and cheese, couscous, rice, and potato salad. It shows up in so many low-carb recipes.
This Keto Bang Bang Cauliflower is yet another way to keep your veggie game lively.
I like to serve this with something simple like Keto Grilled Chicken or Air Fryer Chicken with No Breading.
It is also great with Keto Meatloaf Muffins and Flank Steak.

- Cauliflower: Use pre-cut to save on time.
- Almond Flour: Use super-fine almond flour.
- Parmesan Cheese: Skip the shelf stable kind and opt for freshly grated parmesan instead. Pre-shredded in the refrigerator section is fine.
- Bang Bang Sauce: Most bang bang sauce recipes contain sweet chili sauce and non-keto-friendly sweetener, so make sure you use my keto-friendly version.
Tips & Tricks
- You wouldn’t think that Bang Bang Cauliflower would store well, but it is surprisingly good leftover. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is to re-crisp it in the air fryer and toss it with a salad! It adds a pop of flavor and a textural element I love. Not exactly like a crouton, but satisfying all the same.
- Feel free to play around with the heat and sweetness of this keto low-carb bang bang cauliflower. You can add more sweetener or Sriracha to the sauce if you like.
