Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Franks RedHot Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0 as needed Olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are all approximately the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
Step 4
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting any excess drip off, and then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Lightly spray the cauliflower florets with olive oil cooking spray for an extra crisp finish.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the batter has set and the cauliflower starts to become tender.
Step 7
While the cauliflower is baking, make the buffalo sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the Franks RedHot Sauce until fully combined.
Step 8
Remove the cauliflower from the oven. Using a pastry brush, coat each floret thoroughly with the buffalo sauce.
Step 9
Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and crisp up.
Step 10
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy fresh as a snack or a side dish!
