Description

This deliciously innovative dish captures all the rich, spicy flavors of buffalo wings while you savor the lightness of perfectly baked cauliflower florets.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 head cauliflower (cut into florets)
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1 cup water (adjust for batter consistency)
1 tbsp garlic powder (add more for extra flavor)
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Optional Sauce

¹⁄₂ cup whipped Greek yogurt (for dipping)

Instructions

Preparation and Baking

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Make sure the oven is fully preheated for crispy results.
Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, mix flour, water, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth.

The consistency should be thick enough to coat the cauliflower.
Coat the Cauliflower

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then place on a lined baking sheet.

Shake off excess batter before placing on the sheet.
Bake the Florets

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

The florets should be golden brown and crispy.
Toss in Buffalo Sauce

Remove from oven, toss the baked florets with buffalo sauce, and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Ensure even coating and check to prevent burning.
Serve and Enjoy

Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve with optional whipped Greek yogurt.

Pair it with a cafe latte or enjoy on its own.
