Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the Ranch Dip:
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour in the plant-based milk and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss to coat them evenly.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add the coated cauliflower to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
  7. Transfer the seared cauliflower to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo hot sauce and melted butter.
  9. Pour the buffalo sauce mixture over the cauliflower and toss to coat.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly crispy.
  11. While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the ranch dip. In a medium bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt, dill, chives, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
  12. Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites hot with the ranch dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bites, you can bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs to the ranch dip.
