Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Low sodium hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing the stem and leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, water, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the cauliflower is baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the low sodium hot sauce and whisk to combine. Remove from heat.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove from the oven and brush with the buffalo sauce mixture on all sides.
Return the sauced cauliflower to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to bake into the bites.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. These are great with a side of low sodium ranch or blue cheese dip!
