Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut your cauliflower into florets. I like cutting from the bottom as I've found this is easiest to get the florets. If a floret is pretty large, cut it in half. Next, mix all the ingredients for the batter in a bowl. Dip the florets in the batter. Shake them off to remove any excess batter. Place on baking sheet one by one.
Put the baking sheet in the oven for 15 minutes. When that's done, flip the florets over and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and either brush on the buffalo sauce or add a few florets to a bowl and coat with buffalo sauce. You don't want to add all of them at once because you want to keep the crispy layer on.
Place them back on the baking sheet and bake them for another 20 minutes. If you'd like them crispier, leave them in for longer. I like to see the florets get darker, with few burnt spots, but you have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't completely burn. Serve immediately when they're done cooking. If desired, add more buffalo sauce by brushing or drizzling it on.
Notes
If you're not gluten-free you can sub almond flour for all-purpose or whole wheat flour.
