Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegan buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower but thin enough to drip slightly.
Add the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Place the battered cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the cauliflower starts to become crispy.
While the cauliflower is baking, melt the vegan butter in a small saucepan over low heat, and then mix it with the vegan buffalo sauce. Stir until well combined.
After the cauliflower has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from the oven. Toss the baked cauliflower with the buffalo sauce mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until crisped to your liking.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately with your favorite vegan dipping sauce or celery sticks.
