Try this appetizer with cut celery and carrot for some extra crunch.
Ingredients
Ingredients List:
- 1 cup Zoi Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- ½ cup Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ cup Mitch’s Best Buffalo Sauce
Preparation
- Preheat & Prep Preheat the oven to 425°F. If desired, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and zest, garlic, parsley, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. If a thinner consistency is preferred, whisk in a couple of tablespoons of water.
- Batter the Cauliflower In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and almond milk until smooth. Working in batches, gently toss the cauliflower florets in the batter to coat evenly. Remove the florets, allowing excess batter to drip off, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Cauliflower Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is slightly tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Mix with Buffalo Sauce In a medium bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter until fully combined. Add the partially baked cauliflower to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly in the buffalo sauce mixture.
- Finish Cooking & Serve Return the buffalo-coated cauliflower to the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and broil for 2 minutes, or until the florets are slightly browned. Serve warm, accompanied by the garlic lemon sauce for dipping.
