Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer - Cauliflower Buffalo Bites

Ingredients:

1 head of gluten-free cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
1 cup gluten-free chickpea flour (besan)
1 cup gluten-free water
1 teaspoon gluten-free garlic powder
1 teaspoon gluten-free onion powder
1/2 teaspoon gluten-free paprika
Salt and gluten-free black pepper to taste
1/2 cup gluten-free buffalo sauce (check the label for gluten-free certification)
Gluten-free ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free chickpea flour, gluten-free water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and gluten-free black pepper. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's coated evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Place the battered cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the batter is crisp and golden brown.

While the cauliflower is baking, heat the gluten-free buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until it's warm.

Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Pour the warm gluten-free buffalo sauce over the baked cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.

Serve the Cauliflower Buffalo Bites with gluten-free ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Enjoy these gluten-free Cauliflower Buffalo Bites as a delicious and spicy appetizer!
