BBQ Cauliflower “Wings”

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking sheet

1 cup white rice flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 2- to 3-inch florets, stems reserved for another use

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Carrot and celery sticks, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Whisk in 1 cup water until completely incorporated and you have a thin batter. Add the cauliflower florets and toss to coat completely with the batter. Use tongs or a fork to remove the florets from the bowl, allowing excess batter to drip off. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until the batter begins to set, about 10 minutes. Use tongs or a spatula to flip the florets and bake the other side until the batter looks completely dry, about 10 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, combine the barbecue sauce and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted.
