INGREDIENTS

1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

1 cup water (or unsweetened almond milk)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

3/4 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)

2 tbsp vegan butter, melted

Vegan ranch dressing, for dipping

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

DIRECTIONS

Step 1
Prep: Preheat oven to 220C (425F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2
Batter: Whisk flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Dip each floret into batter, letting excess drip off, then place on the tray.

Step 3
Bake: Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Flip halfway for even crispness.

Step 4
Sauce: Mix hot sauce and melted butter. Toss baked florets in sauce until coated.

Step 5
Crisp: Return to oven for 10-15 minutes until glaze is sticky and edges are crisp.

Step 6
Serve: Garnish with herbs and serve immediately with vegan ranch.

Tips: - Extra Crispy? Lightly spray florets with oil before baking.
- Milder Heat: Reduce hot sauce to 1/2 cup.
- Make Ahead: Prep batter and cut cauliflower 1 day in advance.

Spicy, crunchy, and utterly addictive. Enjoy!
