Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cold water (or club soda for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • For serving: Ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. Slowly whisk in the cold water until you have a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter.
  4. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting excess drip off.
  5. Place the battered florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  7. While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder.
  8. Remove the baked cauliflower from the oven. Place the hot florets into a large bowl.
  9. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower. Gently toss to coat every bite evenly.
  10. Return the coated bites to the baking sheet.
  11. Bake for another 5-10 minutes to set the sauce.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks.

Notes

  • For an even crispier bite, you can air fry the cauliflower after the initial bake.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spice level.
  • Using club soda instead of plain water in the batter adds carbonation, which helps create a lighter coating.
