Buffalo Cauliflower Florets
These crispy and spicy cauliflower florets are not only easy to make but are also packed with flavor. The dish is accompanied by a tangy dipping sauce to complement the spicy notes of the buffalo sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup of all-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular flour)
- 1 cup of almond milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the cauliflower bakes, combine the buffalo sauce with the olive oil in a small bowl. This will add a rich flavor and enhance the overall taste.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the buffalo sauce mixture over them, tossing gently to coat thoroughly.
- Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to adhere to the florets and create a deliciously spicy glaze.
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Pair with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for an excellent dipping experience.
