Description
Simple recipe for crispy baked cauliflower florets coated in barbecue sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Slowly whisk in the cold water until you have a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting excess drip off.
- Place the battered florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce with the olive oil.
- Brush or toss the partially cooked cauliflower with the BBQ sauce mixture.
- Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly caramelized and the edges are crisp.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can bake the plain battered florets for 10 minutes before the first sauce application.
- Use a thicker BBQ sauce for better coating.
