Description
Buffalo Cauliflower Bites are a healthier, vegetarian alternative to traditional buffalo wings. Made by roasting cauliflower florets coated in a spiced batter and then tossing them in buffalo sauce, these bites are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for game day or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add water and whisk until smooth.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and stir to coat completely.
- Arrange the battered cauliflower on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- In a small bowl, mix buffalo sauce with olive oil.
- Remove cauliflower from the oven, toss with the buffalo sauce mixture, and return to the baking sheet.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, until crispy and browned.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- For extra crispiness, broil the cauliflower for a couple of minutes at the end.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
