Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all 'Batter' ingredients until smooth.
Add the 'Cauliflower' florets to the batter, tossing gently to ensure each floret is fully coated.
Arrange the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender-crisp and lightly browned.
While the cauliflower bakes, prepare the 'Buffalo Sauce' by whisking together the hot sauce, melted vegan butter, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Once baked, remove the cauliflower from the oven. Pour the 'Buffalo Sauce' over the hot cauliflower and toss gently until all florets are evenly coated.
Return the sauced cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce is slightly caramelized and sticky.
Serve hot with 'For Serving (Optional)' items like vegan ranch dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks.
