Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup rice flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup dairy-free buffalo sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, almond milk, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a smooth batter.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 5

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the battered cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cauliflower pieces to ensure they roast up crisp.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the cauliflower is slightly crisped and golden.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the roasted cauliflower into a large mixing bowl.

Step 9

Pour the dairy-free buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.

Step 10

Return the buffalo-coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.

Step 11

Bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to set and the edges to crisp up.

Step 12

Serve immediately with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauce or garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
