Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Optional: Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving
  • Optional: Celery sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Gradually whisk in the water until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the coated cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly golden.
  7. While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, and white vinegar.
  8. Once the cauliflower is baked, add it to a clean bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the cauliflower and toss gently to coat.
  9. Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
  10. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, if desired.

Notes
