Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk flour, water, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper until batter is smooth. Add cauliflower to batter and toss to coat.

Step 3

Spread cauliflower onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between them. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping over halfway through.

Step 4

In another small bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter and lemon juice until well blended. Brush the buffalo sauce mixture on the cauliflower.

Step 5

Return to the oven and bake until they start to brown, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Serve hot with ranch dressing, celery and carrots, if desired
