- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, and salt until you have a smooth batter.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Spread the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and toss the baked cauliflower with buffalo sauce and olive oil until well coated.

Notes
For extra crunch, let the coated florets sit for a few minutes before baking. Adjust spice levels to your preference by choosing milder buffalo sauce.
