Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 milliliters Vegan Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until you have a smooth batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce by combining the vegan Buffalo sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well combined and heated through.
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss it in the Buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the edges become crispy.
Serve immediately as a spicy snack or appetizer with your favorite vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing.
