Ingrédients

1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 cup almond milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup hot sauce

2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted

1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the almond milk and flour until a smooth batter forms. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting the excess drip off, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and the batter is cooked through.
While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small bowl, mix the hot sauce with the melted vegan butter.
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss with the buffalo sauce until well coated. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
For the cashew ranch dressing, drain the soaked cashews and place them in a blender. Add water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve the buffalo cauliflower bites hot with the cashew ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
