Spicy Buffalo cauliflower bites with creamy blue cheese dressing, a vegetarian take on a classic favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons Stella® blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 1 pinch onion powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.25 cup whole milk
  • 0.25 cup lager beer
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 6 celery stalks, trimmed and cut into 6-inch pieces, or more to taste
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream, blue cheese, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 450 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with either parchment paper or foil, then set it aside.
  • Combine whole milk, beer, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Coat each cauliflower floret in batter, letting any extra drip off, and place on the baking sheet. Continue until all florets are coated.
  • Coat the florets with cooking spray for a crispy finish. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add Buffalo wing sauce, stirring until fully combined. Drizzle half of the sauce over the roasted cauliflower and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Gently toss the cauliflower florets in the Buffalo mixture using tongs until they are fully coated in the sauce.
  • Present the dish on a large plate with the dipping sauce and crisp celery.
