Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

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, about 1-2 inches in size.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the batter.

Step 5

Arrange the coated cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray with olive oil for extra crispness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the cauliflower halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by mixing the buffalo sauce and melted butter in a separate bowl.

Step 8

After the initial bake, remove the cauliflower from the oven and carefully toss the florets in the buffalo sauce mixture until well-coated.

Step 9

Return the buffalo-coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 10

Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 11

Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
