Buffalo Cauliflower

Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cauliflower (cut into bite-sized florets)
• ½ cup cornstarch
• ½ cup water
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 to 4 tablespoons Frank's red hot sauce (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 1 recipe ranch dressing

Steps

1. 1

   Season the cauliflower. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. It should be a light pancake-batter consistency. Add the cauliflower florets and gently toss together, until well coated. Alternatively, you can add the sauce and cauliflower to a large Ziploc bag and shake it together.

2. 2

   Bake. Arrange the florets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, evenly spread out. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are golden.

3. 3

   Make the sauce. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the hot sauce and melted butter.

4. 4

   Coat the cauliflower. Once the cauliflower is golden, brush the sauce on top of the cauliflower. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, until starting to brown in spots.

5. 5

   Serve. Serve the buffalo cauliflower warm with ranch dressing for dipping.
