Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk or other plant-based milk of choice
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/4 cup buffalo sauce

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper together until well-combined. Add soy milk and mix until well-combined to form batter. In a separate bowl, add breadcrumbs.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and coat completely in the batter.
  3. Once coated in batter, dip the cauliflower florets into the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes at 400°, flipping cauliflower bites halfway through.
  5. Carefully remove cauliflower bites from oven and coat in buffalo sauce. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, once again flipping halfway through.
  6. Optional: Broil for 2-4 minutes on high for extra crispiness.
  7. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks. Enjoy!
