Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
  • Celery sticks (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Breading: In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Coat the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the almond flour mixture.
  4. Bake: Arrange the coated cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Make the Buffalo Sauce: While the cauliflower is baking, combine the hot sauce and melted butter in a small bowl.
  6. Coat with Sauce: After the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss it in the hot sauce mixture until well coated. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the sauce.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with celery sticks on the side.
