Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-free milk (e.g., oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-free butter alternative
  • 1/4 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar

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

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup dairy-free milk, 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until a smooth batter forms.
  3. 3Add the 1 head of cauliflower florets to the batter and gently toss until each floret is completely coated.
  4. 4Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through the baking time. The cauliflower is done when it is golden brown and feels crispy.
  5. 5While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the sauce: Melt the 1/4 cup dairy-free butter alternative in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup hot sauce and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. 6Once the cauliflower is baked and crispy, transfer the florets to a clean, large bowl. Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and gently toss until all the florets are evenly coated.
  7. 7Serve the dairy-free buffalo cauliflower bites immediately.
