- 1 large head cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup buffalo sauce store-bought or homemade
- 1 tbsp vegan butter melted
Preheat your oven to 425°F (because crispy matters).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt into a smooth batter.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, coat it well, and place on the tray.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway for even sassiness.
Mix buffalo sauce with melted vegan butter in a bowl.
Toss the baked florets in the spicy mix.
Return to the oven for 10 more minutes to finish crisping.
Remove, cool slightly (if you have patience), and serve with your best smug face.
