• All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup (65g)
• Water - 1/2 cup (120ml)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the cauliflower for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
