Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, chopped (approx. 4-5 cups of florets)
Batter
- 1 cup Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour (Bob's Red Mill works best. Can sub regular flour)
- 2/3 cup Almond Milk (or non-dairy milk, can sub regular milk)
- 1/3- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
Buffalo Sauce
- 1.25 cup Buffalo Sauce (I like Buffalo Wild Wings Medium Buffalo Sauce)
- 2 tbsp Ghee (Can also use Vegan Butter or Regular Butter)
Instructions
- Line baking sheet(s) with foil or a silicone baking mat. Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ingredients to make the batter: flour, almond milk, water, and spices. (slowly incorporating water until you get a smooth liquid texture.) Whisk well, until the batter has thickened.
- Wash and cut cauliflower head into bite-sized pieces/florets. Toss the cauliflower pieces into the batter until that they are all evenly coated. (Coat 2-3 pieces at a time)
- Transfer the cauliflower florets onto the baking sheet, making sure to leave behind any excess batter. (If you have tongs, they are perfect for transferring the cauliflower)
- Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the cauliflower is in the oven, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the ghee/butter. Then, add the buffalo sauce and mix well. Remove the sauce from the heat when the sauce begins to boil, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven. Using tongs, grab the cauliflower piece by piece and dip it in the buffalo sauce, making sure all sides are evenly coated.
- Place the coated cauliflower on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 425°F. Then, turn the oven to a high broil and broil the cauliflower for 5 minutes, until a crispy golden crust is formed.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Try Hemp seed ranch for a healthy, delicious dairy-free dipping sauce!
