Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 small head of cauliflower, cut into florets

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup water

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup Buffalo sauce

2 cups sushi rice, cooked and cooled

4 sheets nori

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

1/2 cup julienned carrots

Soy sauce for serving

Pickled ginger for serving

Wasabi for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a batter.

3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.

5. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss it with the Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

6. Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or clean kitchen towel. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

7. Place a few pieces of Buffalo cauliflower across the center of the rice along with some green onions and carrots.

8. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, applying gentle pressure to ensure it holds together.

9. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

10. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

11. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
