Instructions

Preheat to 450 degrees F. Spray a lined baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, dairy-free milk, garlic salt, paprika, cumin, and black pepper. The mixture should form a batter.

Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter and place a single layer of battered florets on the baking sheet. Be careful not to coat the batter too thick on the cauliflower.

Bake for about 10 minutes, until the batter begins to set. Then use tongs to flip the florets and bake on the other side for another 10 minutes, or until the batter looks completely dry.

While baking, combine the barbecue sauce and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until the butter is melted, stirring occasionally.

Once the cauliflower florets are done, use a pastry brush to completely coat the florets with sauce.

Bake again for about 10-15 minutes, until the florets are crispy and the sauce is absorbed.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Crispiness 🌬️
Pat the cauliflower florets completely dry with paper towels before battering to ensure a crispy, golden exterior that won't steam and become soggy.
Create a Creamy Batter Base 🥛
Whisk your dairy-free milk with cornstarch (not listed but highly recommended) for a thicker, more adhesive batter that clings to the cauliflower and creates better texture than milk alone.
Toast Your Spices First ✨
Lightly toast the paprika and cumin in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into your flour to bloom their flavors and intensify the depth of your seasoning blend.
Brush BBQ Sauce Mid-Bake 🍖
Apply half your BBQ sauce halfway through baking, then add the remaining sauce in the last 5 minutes to prevent burning while building a caramelized, sticky coating.
Undercrowd Your Pan 🍳
Arrange cauliflower pieces in a single layer with space between them on your baking sheet to allow hot air circulation and even browning rather than steaming them together.
