Instructions
To Make the Cauliflower Bites
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
-
Cut out the core and stem of the cauliflower and cut florets into bite-size pieces.
-
In a large bowl, combine gluten free flour, garlic powder and salt. Add water gradually until a batter forms which is pourable, similar to pancake batter (see note). Add cauliflower and toss to coat, then lift each piece with a slotted spoon and let excess batter drip back into bowl. Place cauliflower on prepared baking sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes until it begins to brown.
-
Meanwhile, heat sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes. When cauliflower is tender, brush sauce over each piece and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
-
Serve with the celery strips and the salad dressing for dipping.
Note
Each brand of gluten free flour absorbs water differently, so add it gradually – you may not need the entire 1 cup.
In true Buffalo flavor fashion, the hot sauce mixture is very spicy. Adjust the heat by using more or less of the honey until it is just right to your taste.
