- 1 head cauliflower (cut florets into bite-sized pieces)
- ¾ cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ cup butter, ghee or butter substitute, melted
- ½ cup hot sauce (I use RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce)
- Chives or green onion to garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine chickpea flour, milk, garlic powder and paprika in a medium-sized bowl.
Dip cauliflower florets into the chickpea flour batter until covered and then place on the baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
While cauliflower is baking, mix butter and hot sauce in another medium-sized bowl.
Take cauliflower out of the oven and dip or mix into hot sauce mixture.
Place back onto baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes. Then broil for 10 more minutes (to make them crispy!)
Cut chives or onions into rings and sprinkle over finished product. Serve with ranch, caesar or favourite dressing.
Enjoy!
Tastes best if served immediately. Stores well in refrigerator for 3-4 days - however, the cauliflower does lose some of its crispiness upon refrigeration.
