Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower

For the Batter

For the Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut your cauliflower into florets and set aside.
  • In a low, flat bowl, whisk together the flour, plant milk, salt, and spices to create a smooth but thick batter. Add more plant milk 1-2 tsp at a time if the batter is too dry.
  • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated. Then place them onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 450 F for 20-25 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
  • While the cauliflower is baking, mix the buffalo sauce and melted vegan butter.
  • After the first round of baking, remove the cauliflower from the oven, and brush it with buffalo sauce until each piece is evenly coated.
  • Return the cauliflower to the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until the buffalo sauce has begun to caramelize.
  • Remove from the oven, serve with your favorite dipping sauce (like my easy vegan ranch!), and enjoy!

Notes

  1. When cutting the cauliflower into florets, start at the bottom and cut from the main stem outward, then break the florets off as they are exposed. This will reduce the crumbs and avoid florets falling apart!
  2. When coating the florets in the batter, place each floret on the end of a fork to dip into the batter. This makes for a less messy coating process and easier clean-up!
  3. Not vegan? Use regular milk or real butter and dip with real ranch dressing for a still-delicious vegetarian option!
  4. Gluten-free? Use a gluten-free flour in your batter and you are good to go!
