Combine batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk to form a loose batter, may need to add some water.

Dip florets into batter one by one and place onto the baking sheet. Spray or brush with oil. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway.

While cauliflower is baking, prepare the sauce.

Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a high speed blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
