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, ensuring that they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 5
Place the coated cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly and not touching.
Step 6
Lightly spray the cauliflower with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 7
Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 8
While the cauliflower is baking, combine the buffalo hot sauce and honey in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until warm and well combined.
Step 9
After 20 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the oven and gently toss them in the buffalo sauce mixture until they're well coated.
Step 10
Place the saucy cauliflower back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 11
Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly before serving.
Step 12
