Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp garlic powder, minced
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the batter by whisking together flour, water, minced garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
3. Coat each cauliflower floret evenly with the batter and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching to allow for even baking.
4. Bake the florets for 20 minutes. Using a spatula, turn each floret halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
5. While the cauliflower is baking, combine the buffalo sauce and olive oil in a separate bowl.
6. Once baked, remove the cauliflower from the oven and gently toss with the buffalo sauce mixture until each floret is evenly coated.
7. Return the coated cauliflower to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the sauce.
