Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
02
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
03
1/2 cup water
04
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05
1 teaspoon onion powder
06
1/2 teaspoon paprika
07
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
08
1/2 teaspoon salt
09
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
10
1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
11
1 tablespoon olive oil
12
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
13
Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

01
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will form the batter.
03
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
04
Bake the cauliflower for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are golden and crispy.
05
While the cauliflower is baking, heat the buffalo sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
06
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss it in the buffalo sauce until fully coated.
07
Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to set and get slightly caramelized.
08
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side if desired.
