Buffalo Cauliflower Ingredients

Method

Buffalo Cauliflower Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the water until you have a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Batter the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Carefully place the battered cauliflower florets into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Toss

    Remove the fried cauliflower from the oil and drain on paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the hot cauliflower with the buffalo sauce until well coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, with extra buffalo sauce on the side if desired.
