Instructions
Make the Batter
Whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a large bowl until a smooth thin batter forms. The batter should coat the back of a spoon without being too thick.
Coat and Bake the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter and let excess drip off. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes until the batter is set and edges are golden.
Make the Buffalo Sauce
Whisk together buffalo hot sauce, melted vegan butter, apple cider vinegar, and honey in a bowl until combined. Taste and adjust heat level by adding more hot sauce if desired.
Toss and Return to Oven
Remove cauliflower from the oven and toss each piece in the buffalo sauce until well coated. Return to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until caramelized and sticky.
Serve with Dipping Sauce
Transfer the buffalo cauliflower bites to a serving platter. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
