For the Cauliflower:

  2. In a medium size bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the hot sauce. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Combine the cauliflower with batter and make sure to coat each piece completely.
  4. Place the battered cauliflower on the line sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  5. When the cauliflower is done, add it into a medium bowl or pot, and coat it with the hot sauce.
  6. If you want the cauliflower to be crispy and a touch more dry (as opposed to saucy), place the back into the oven for 5-10 minutes after covering it in the hot sauce.
  7. Serve with your favorite vegetables and raw ranch dressing.

For the Ranch Dip:

  1. Blend all of the ingredients except for the last three in a high speed blender until smooth and creamy.
