Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a smooth batter.
- Dip each cauliflower piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then place them on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.
- While the cauliflower is baking, mix the hot sauce and melted butter in a separate bowl.
- Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss it in the hot sauce mixture.
- Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until extra crispy.
- Serve warm with celery sticks and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
For extra crunch, try double-dipping the cauliflower. You can also use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
