Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Small mixing bowl
- Tongs (for flipping and tossing the cauliflower)
- Serving platter
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hot sauce Frank's RedHot Sauce works great
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey optional, for a hint of sweetness
- Fresh celery sticks for serving
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms.
- Coat the Cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter until each piece is well-coated.
- Bake the Cauliflower: Spread the coated florets out on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: While the cauliflower is baking, mix together the hot sauce, melted butter, and honey in a small bowl.
- Coat with Buffalo Sauce: After 20 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss them in the buffalo sauce.
- Bake Again: Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and crispy.
- Serve: Serve immediately with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side.
