Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Baking

  2. Place the coated florets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.
  3. Remove from the oven, toss with buffalo sauce in a large mixing bowl, and return to the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  5. Serve hot with ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in a preheated oven to retain crispiness.
