Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Low sodium hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, removing the stem and leaves.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, water, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the batter.
Step 4
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Step 6
While the cauliflower is baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the low sodium hot sauce and whisk to combine. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove from the oven and brush with the buffalo sauce mixture on all sides.
Step 8
Return the sauced cauliflower to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to bake into the bites.
Step 9
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. These are great with a side of low sodium ranch or blue cheese dip!
