Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buffalo sauce
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt to form a batter.
3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
5. Remove from oven and toss the cauliflower bites in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
7. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can also air fry the cauliflower for about 15 minutes at 400°F (204°C).
Feel free to adjust the level of buffalo sauce to your heat preference.
