Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and spray the rack lightly with nonstick spray (or olive oil spray).
In a bowl, lightly beat the 2 large eggs until combined.
In a second bowl, combine 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs, 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs, and 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; stir to mix evenly.
Working one floret at a time, dip each piece of cauliflower into the beaten eggs, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat completely. Place each coated floret spaced in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.
When all florets are breaded and arranged on the rack, spritz the tops lightly and evenly with the olive oil spray.
Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through if desired, until the florets are golden and crisp.
While the cauliflower roasts, make the sauce: combine 4 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic in a small saucepan. Whisk to combine.
Heat the sauce over medium heat until it comes to a simmer, then cook for 1–2 minutes while whisking. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
When the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven. Either drizzle the sauce over the cauliflower or place the cauliflower in a bowl and toss gently to coat, using as much sauce as you like. (You can also serve extra sauce on the side as a dip.)
Sprinkle the finished cauliflower with the thinly sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
Use an olive oil spray to spritz the breaded florets before roasting for best results.
