Ingredients
Scale
Cauliflower and Batter
- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
Sauce
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, and salt until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Coat the cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Bake initially: Spread the battered cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Apply buffalo sauce: While the cauliflower bakes, mix the buffalo sauce with melted butter in a small bowl. Once the initial baking is complete, brush the buffalo sauce mixture over the florets thoroughly.
- Bake to finish: Return the coated cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. This step crisps up the edges and allows the buffalo sauce to set beautifully.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the bites for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your spice preference.
- Serve with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic pairing.
