Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower broke into florets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Can be gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce Look for "natural butter flavor" if you prefer dairy-free
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Panko bread crumbs Can be gluten-free

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and cover a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In medium sized bowl, stir together your all-purpose flour, milk, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to become a thick paste.
  • Add cauliflower florets and toss to coat.
  • Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet. Baking for 30 minutes. Flip the cauliflower about halfway through the baking time for a more even crispiness.
  • After 30 minutes, remove from oven and toss with buffalo sauce. Sprinkle with panko.
  • Place the cauliflower on the lower rack of your oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the coating is crispy.
  • Transfer the cauliflower to a serving bowl and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces. I like ranch dipping sauce.
