Method 

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Prepare the breading by whisking together the oat flour, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix the water and chickpea flour to form a batter.

Drop the cauliflower/tofu in the batter and coat well by stirring with a spoon, then use tongs or a fork to shake off excess batter. Transfer the pieces to the oat flour mix and coat well.

Use tongs to place the cauliflower pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, or air fry for 25 minutes at 450°F.

To prepare the Orange Sauce, add all of the sauce ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a warm sauce, heat it in a small saucepan on the stove.

Once the cauliflower/tofu is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl, and pour on a little orange sauce and toss to coat.

Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds...and WYW Sriracha!
