Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: Blue cheese or ranch dressing for serving
  • Optional: Celery sticks for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the almond milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  7. While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Frank’s RedHot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined.
  8. Once the cauliflower is baked, remove it from the oven.
  9. In a large bowl, gently toss the hot cauliflower with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  10. Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly caramelized and the cauliflower is crispy.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can double-coat the cauliflower. Dip florets in batter, bake for 10 minutes, then dip again and bake until golden.
  • To keep the cauliflower crispy after saucing, serve immediately or place on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free.
  • Consider this a great alternative to traditional meal planning, offering a healthier snack option.
