  • Step 1

    INGREDIENTS:
    - 4 cups of cauliflower
    - 1/2 cup of white flour
    - 2 tbsp baking powder
    - 2 tbsp cornstarch
    - 1 tbsp garlic powder
    - 1 tsp cayenne pepper
    - 1/3 cup water + more for thinning
    - Oil for frying
    - 1/2 cup buffalo or hot sauce for topping
    - Vegan ranch or blue cheese for dipping

  • Step 2

    PREPARATION:
    - Chop your cauliflower into bite-size pieces.

  • Step 3

    MAKE THE BATTER:
    - Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic, cayenne) in a large bowl.
    - Mix with a whisk or fork until they're evenly combined.
    - Add 1/3 cup of water to the bowl. Whisk until a thick batter forms (it should be like pancake batter).
    - If it's too thick, continue adding water about 2 tbsp at a time until you get to the desired consistency.

  • Step 4

    FRY THE CAULIFLOWER:
    - Heat the oil in a large pot on the stove, over medium heat. (I used a 12-inch sauce pot and heated about 2-inches of oil in the pot.)
    - Coat the cauliflower bites in the batter, then drop them in the hot oil.
    - Fry the cauliflower until they're golden brown, then remove them from the oil and place on a drying rack to cool.
    - Repeat with the rest of the cauliflower.

  • Step 5

    GET SAUCY:
    - Once the cauliflower is done frying, toss them in about 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce.
    - Serve immediately with a side of vegan ranch or blue cheese.

  • Step 6

    TIPS & TRICKS:
    - You should be able to fit a lot of cauliflower in your pot, but make sure to not overcrowd the pot. You don't want them to really be touching or on top of each other.
