Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper until smooth.
Step 2: Add about 5 cups cauliflower florets to the batter and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Step 3: Arrange coated florets in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes until edges start to crisp.
Step 4: Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup hot sauce.
Step 5: Remove cauliflower from oven and gently toss with the buffalo sauce mixture. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until crispy and golden.
Step 6: For the dip, stir together 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives. Serve cauliflower wings hot with blue cheese dip.
