Easy Buffalo Cauliflower
Easy Buffalo Cauliflower is baked - not fried - and delivers all of the flavor of fried buffalo chicken wings in a lighter, but equally tasty appetizer or main dish!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
for the cauliflower
- 1 head cauliflower chopped into florets
- ½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup milk or buttermilk
for the buffalo sauce
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 3 tablespoons salted butter add 1/8 teaspoon salt if using unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ranch or blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and grease a baking sheet.
- Stir together flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir in milk.
- Dip cauliflower in the milk mixture, turning to coat completely, shake off excess and arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, use a fork to turn over cauliflower pieces, and bake another 10 minutes.
- While cauliflower is baking, combine buffalo wing sauce, butter, and honey in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Brush buffalo sauce all over the baked cauliflower, bake another 10 minutes (I like to broil it for the last 2-3 minutes).
- Serve fresh with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
