Servings: 4
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Tongs or slotted spoon
- Small Bowl
- Pastry Brush or spoon
Ingredients
- ½ cup Flour
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- ½ cup Milk or Water see notes section at bottom of page
- 1 head Cauliflower
- ¼ cup Buffalo or Hot Sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and milk or water until a thin batter forms (about the consistency of pancake batter - see notes section).
- Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss to coat.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the baking sheet, close but not on top of each other.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. While the cauliflower is baking, whisk together hot sauce, honey, and olive oil until well combined.
- Brush hot sauce mixture over each cauliflower, or remove florets and toss in a mixing bowl. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until just starting to brown.
- Serve immediately with celery, carrots and ranch or blue cheese dip!
Notes
- You can use milk alternatives like unsweetened Almond milk as well.
- You want to aim for batter that is smooth and somewhat runny, similar to pancake batter. If you're finding your batter on the thicker side - add a few tbsp to 1/4 cup of additional milk or water - start with 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency.
