  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well coated.
  4. Place the coated florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the buffalo sauce and melted butter.

  • Adjust the spice level by using mild or hot buffalo sauce.
