Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper and brush it with half the oil.

2. 2

   Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

3. 3

   Whisk the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt into a smooth batter about as thick as pancake batter.

4. 4

   Toss the florets in the batter. Lift them out one at a time and let the excess drip back into the bowl.

5. 5

   Spread the florets on the tray so they do not touch, then brush or drizzle them with the remaining oil.

6. 6

   Bake for 20 min, turn each piece over and bake until golden and firm, 10-15 min more.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat, whisk in the hot sauce and take it off the heat.

8. 8

   Tip the baked cauliflower into a large bowl, pour over the sauce and toss until every piece is coated.

9. 9

   Spread the florets back on the tray and bake until the sauce sets and the edges darken, 8-10 min.

10. 10

    Serve hot with the celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
