Equipment

- Aluminum Sheet Pans
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower cut into florets
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 0.5 tablespoon lemon juice
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving
- Carrots and celery sticks for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper until batter is smooth. Add cauliflower to batter and toss to coat.
- Spread cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between them. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping over halfway through.
- In another small bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter and lemon juice until well blended. Brush the buffalo sauce mixture on the cauliflower.
- Return to the oven and bake until they start to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot with ranch dressing, celery and carrots, if desired.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge but they are best eaten within the first few hours. To re-crisp, heat them in the oven or in a toaster oven, not in the microwave. After step 3, you can freeze the baking sheet. Once they're solid frozen, transfer to a bag and resume from step 4 when ready to bake. They will need an extra 5-10 minutes.
