🧂 Ingredients

1 Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
3 In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with water, adding ¼ cup at a time, until a
batter forms with a creamy consistency, thick enough to coat a spoon. Mix in the
garlic powder, cumin, and paprika; season with salt and pepper.
4 Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated, and
arrange them on the baking sheet with space between each piece.
5 Bake the cauliflower for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven carefully.
6 In a large bowl, stir together the hot sauce and olive oil or melted butter.
Toss the baked cauliflower florets in this mixture until fully coated.
7 Place the cauliflower back on the baking sheet and return it to the oven. Bake
for another 10 to 14 minutes, or until the cauliflower is slightly charred.
8 Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately with
your favorite dips or sauces.
