- 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 TB Liquid Smoke
**For the Sauce:**
- 1 TB butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 cloves or 1 TB garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
**Instructions:**
**1. Preheat the Oven:**
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
**2. Prepare the Cauliflower:**
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, seasonings and water to create a batter with a pancake-like consistency.
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's well-coated.

- Place the coated cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet.
**4. Bake the Cauliflower:**
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes (7 minutes in airfryer at 350F) or until the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy. Flip the florets halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispiness.
**5. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:**
- While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, sauté garlic until a medium brown color. Add 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, reduce heat, add honey.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
**6. Toss the Cauliflower in the Sauce:**
- Once the cauliflower is done baking, transfer it to a large bowl.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the baked cauliflower and toss until each piece is coated evenly.
