Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower Bites:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 22 oz cauliflower florets about 6 1/2 cups
  • 3/4 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter

  • Baking Sheet

  • Oven

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to achieve crispiness.
  2. Step 2: Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets for even cooking.
  3. Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the water, all-purpose flour, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Dip each floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway for even cooking.
  6. Step 6: While baking, mix the Frank's Hot Sauce and melted butter in a bowl.
  7. Step 7: Toss the baked cauliflower in the sauce and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, consider air frying the cauliflower instead of baking.
  • Adjust the heat level with a milder or spicier hot sauce to suit your taste.
  • These bites can be made ahead; just bake them and toss in sauce before serving.
