INGREDIENTS
1 medium head Cauliflower (~600g)
1/3 cup Chickpea Flour (~40g)
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Paprika
Pinch of Salt
2 tbsp Hot Sauce
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 scoop Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder (for dip)
Pinch Black Pepper (for dip)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt until a smooth batter forms.
Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter until evenly coated.
Arrange the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until they start to crisp up.
While baking, heat the hot sauce and melted unsalted butter in a small pan over low heat, stirring to combine into a warm buffalo sauce.
Once the cauliflower is baked, remove from the oven and gently toss the florets in the buffalo sauce until well coated. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes for extra crispiness.
Meanwhile, prepare the protein-packed Greek yogurt dip by combining the nonfat plain Greek yogurt, whey protein isolate, lemon juice, an extra 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Serve the crispy buffalo cauliflower bites warm alongside the chilled Greek yogurt dip.
