Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce (sodium-free if possible)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, about 1-2 inches in size, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth batter.

Step 4

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let any excess batter drip off before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

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

Step 6

While the cauliflower is baking, make the low sodium Buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, olive oil, and honey. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower has baked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and evenly brush or drizzle the Buffalo sauce over each piece.

Step 8

Return the sauced cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and the sauce has baked in.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Buffalo Cauliflower as a delicious appetizer or side dish!
