Spicy Roasted Cauliflower (Gluten Free)

Jump to Recipe
I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, not because it tastes bad, but because it really doesn't have much flavor at all. But, THIS recipe sold me on eating more cauliflower...it's SO Spicy, Flavorful and Easy to make that I just can't get enough!!! It's even great cold the next day! Bon appetit! 🙂

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Head Cauliflower
  • ¾ Cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour, sifted I prefer King Arthur brand
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Ground Pepper
  • ¾ Cup Skim Milk You can substitute with Rice Milk, Oat Milk, Coconut Milk or Soy Milk

Spicy Sauce:

  • ¼ Cup Hot Sauce or Buffalo Sauce For a less-spicy version, use a mild Buffalo Sauce
  • 2 Tbsps Canola Oil You can substitute with Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, etc.
  • 1 Tbsp Honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) and set aside.
  • Cut up the Cauliflower into bite-size pieces and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the GF Flour, Spices and Milk together until thoroughly blended. Add the Cauliflower pieces and stir to completely coat.
  • Dump the coated Cauliflower pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, stirring the pieces at the halfway point.
  • While the Cauliflower is baking, thoroughly combine the Hot Sauce, Oil and Honey.
  • After the first 20 minutes, brush or spoon the Hot Sauce mixture evenly over the Cauliflower pieces. Continue baking for another 20 minutes.
  • Serve while hot or warm. The Sauce mixture becomes like a crusty cheese coating...it is SO yummy!

Notes

Thank you to Pierce Abernathy @ Tasty for sharing the original recipe...I just made a few minor changes to make it GF, lower in sodium and fat 😉
