Are you prepping for the big game yet?

I’ve got all kinds of tricks up my sleeve but this particular recipe is perfect! Spicy and health-conscious, it satisfies all those hearty appetites and delights the vegetarian…all at the same time!

I battered up some cauliflower and baked them until crunchy and golden.  Served with a perfect blue cheese dipping sauce, your guests will be amazed at the taste, and you will be amazed at how easy it is to prepare

We start with a large head of fresh in-season cauliflower.  Break it up or cut into bite-sized pieces.

Next prepare the batter.  Whisk together the flour, milk, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.  

Pour the cauliflower into the batter and combine until all the pieces are coated with the batter

Pour into a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes

Pull the pan out and brush with the buffalo sauce mixture and return to oven for another 20 minutes

Dust with finely chopped parsley and serve with a blue cheese dip

Oh yeah… come to mama

Each piece is crisp on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside.  

What do you think?  Are you going to try it?

I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
