Recipe: Buffalo “Chicken” Cauliflower

Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup buttermilk – I didn’t have buttermilk so I used 1 tablespoon white vinegar and the rest milk to make 1 cup and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt or garlic powder
• 1 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• For serving: Bleu cheese dressing, Ranch, celery, etc.

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, flour, and garlic salt/powder, whisking until mostly smooth (some lumps are okay).

• Place the cauliflower in the bowl and lightly toss to completely coat with the buttermilk mixture.

• Place the cauliflower on a baking pan (or cookie sheet) and bake for about 15-18 minutes.

• Meanwhile, combine the buffalo sauce and the melted butter in a small bowl.

• Remove the hot cauliflower from the oven and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over it to coat it. I used tongs and dipped the cauliflower in the buffalo sauce mixture.

• Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes or so. Let cool slightly and serve immediately.
