Cauliflower Bites

Method

Preparing the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Cut the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.

Batter and Bake

  1. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Gradually add water to create a smooth batter.

  2. 4

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 5

    Bake the Bites

    Place the coated cauliflower florets on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Buffalo Sauce and Final Bake

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buffalo Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine the baked cauliflower with the buffalo sauce. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Bake Again

    Return the coated cauliflower bites to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Making Ranch Dressing

  1. 8

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.

  2. 9

    Chill

    Refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve

    Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
