Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (sodium-free if possible)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, about 1-2 inches in size, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let any excess batter drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the cauliflower is baking, make the low sodium Buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, olive oil, and honey. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Once the cauliflower has baked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and evenly brush or drizzle the Buffalo sauce over each piece.
Return the sauced cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and the sauce has baked in.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Buffalo Cauliflower as a delicious appetizer or side dish!
