Ingredients

  • 1 large head Cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup Rice flour
  • 1/4 cup Tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1/4 cup Blue cheese dressing (dairy free)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 220°C. Cut the 1 large head of cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
  3. 3Pour in the 1/2 cup water and whisk until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
  4. 4Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, making sure each piece is completely covered. Arrange the battered cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. 5Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the florets are golden brown and crispy. Flip the florets halfway through the baking time.
  6. 6While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce and heat gently for 1-2 minutes.
  7. 7Once the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, transfer it to a clean bowl. Pour the warm buffalo wing sauce over the cauliflower and toss gently until all the florets are evenly coated.
  8. 8Serve the cauliflower buffalo wings immediately with the 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
