Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-free milk (almond or soy)
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dairy-free butter alternative, melted

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup dairy-free milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and forms a thin batter.
  3. 3Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Immediately transfer the battered floret to a separate bowl containing the 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs and toss gently until the floret is evenly covered with breadcrumbs.
  4. 4Arrange all the breaded cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not touch each other.
  5. 5Bake the cauliflower florets for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and feel crispy when lightly pressed.
  6. 6While the cauliflower bakes, in a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup buffalo sauce and the 2 tbsp melted dairy-free butter alternative. Whisk these two ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed.
  7. 7Once the cauliflower is baked and golden, carefully transfer all the florets to a clean, large bowl. Pour the prepared buffalo sauce mixture over the cauliflower and gently toss until every floret is evenly coated with the sauce.
  8. 8Serve the dairy-free buffalo cauliflower bites immediately.
