1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup of beer or use neutral club soda or use water

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix well. Then add in the beer and 1 teaspoon oil to make the batter. The batter should be not be too thin. If it is not thick enough, you can add in a teaspoon or more of rice flour.
Once the batter is smooth, add in the cauliflower and toss well to coat.
Once the cauliflower is completely coated, transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit(220c ) for 25 minutes.
Check at 21 or 22 minutes to see if the cauliflower is done and is tender inside. If it is, then you can remove the cauliflower.
Add bbq sauce and hot sauce to a shallow bowl and mix.
Add the cauliflower to the bowl where you mixed the bbq sauce and hot sauce and toss well to coat.
Transfer the cauliflower back onto the baking sheet and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
Serve hot. Garnish with some green onions and serve with ranch if desired

Notes

if you don't have rice flour, you can use all-purpose flour. I just prefer rice flour because it makes the cauliflower bites really crunchy
you can use your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce or mix some curry powder, bbq seasoning or Cajun spice into ketchup
you can use club soda or water instead of beer
if you don't have bbq seasoning, you can blend 1 teaspoon paprika, with 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon each of oregano, thyme, and parsley
