Instructions
Preheat and Prepare Batter
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, plant-based milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until a smooth batter forms.
Coat the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting any excess drip off, then place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets are not touching each other to ensure even crisping.
First Bake
Bake the battered cauliflower in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the batter is set and lightly golden. The florets should be firm to the touch when done.
Toss in Buffalo Sauce
While the cauliflower bakes, whisk together the buffalo hot sauce and melted vegan butter in a large bowl. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss each piece generously in the buffalo sauce mixture.
Final Bake and Serve
Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until caramelized and sticky. Serve immediately with vegan ranch or celery sticks.
