Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Tasty and Simple Snack

Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water or plant-based milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup buffalo sauce
• 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter (optional)
• to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• to serve celery sticks and ranch dressing

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water (or plant-based milk), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
5. While the cauliflower is baking, in a small bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with the melted vegan butter, if using.
6. Once the cauliflower is crispy, remove it from the oven and drizzle the buffalo sauce mixture over the bites. Toss to coat evenly. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with celery sticks and ranch dressing on the side.
