- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce (or more to coat)

Instructions
For the Buffalo Cauliflower
-
Preheat the oven to 375 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and milk to form a batter.
-
Dip the cauliflower pieces one by one, coating evenly in batter, shaking off any excess and placing with space between each piece on the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake for 20 minutes on one side, flip, and bake for another 20 minutes on the other side. To make extra crispy, broil for the last 2-3 minutes! Make the ranch dressing while the cauliflower bakes.
-
Remove from oven and toss to combine in buffalo sauce in a large bowl. Serve with ranch dip and enjoy!
For the Ranch*
-
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, blue cheese (if using) and chives. Season with salt to taste.
Recipe Notes
*If you don't like blue cheese, omit or serve with your favourite ranch dip instead!
