Ingredients
- 150 g Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 250 ml Water
- 1 Medium Cauliflower Cut Into Florets
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 100 ml Hot Sauce
- 20 g Unsalted Butter Melted, for the Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt.
- Gradually pour in the water while whisking until a smooth batter forms.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then place on the prepared tray.
- Drizzle the battered cauliflower with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce and melted butter. Stir until well blended, then remove from heat.

- Return to the oven and bake for a further 10 minutes until crisp and lightly caramelised.
- Serve hot with a cooling dip of your choice or fresh celery sticks.
