Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup water (adjust for thickness)

1 cup buffalo sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Celery sticks and ranch dressing (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Cauliflower: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

      Create Batter: Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter similar to pancake batter. Adjust the water as necessary for the right consistency.

        Coat Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all florets are coated.

          Bake: Bake the cauliflower in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

            Prepare Buffalo Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with olive oil for added flavor and richness.

              Toss with Sauce: Once the cauliflower bites are crispy, remove them from the oven and toss them in the buffalo sauce mixture until well coated.

                Final Bake: Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp up the sauce.

                  Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
