Buffalo cauliflower bites

Buffalo cauliflower bites make for a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional buffalo wings. This vegetarian dish is packed with flavor and provides a satisfying crunch. Perfect for parties, game days, or as a snack, these bites are sure to be a hit with everyone.

Ingredients:

1 cup water
240g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
2 tsp garlic powder
6g
6.50 cups cauliflower
700g
12 tbsp pepper sauce
170g
1 tbsp butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, all-purpose flour, and garlic powder. Whisk until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
3. Coat the Cauliflower:
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated.
4. Bake the Cauliflower:
Place the coated cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the batter is set and the cauliflower starts to turn golden brown.
5. Prepare the Buffalo Sauce:
While the cauliflower is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the pepper sauce until well combined.
6. Coat with Buffalo Sauce:
Once the cauliflower is baked, remove it from the oven. Using tongs or a spatula, transfer the baked cauliflower into a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the baked cauliflower and toss to coat each piece evenly.
7. Final Bake:
Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is crispy and golden brown.
8. Serve:
Remove from the oven and allow the cauliflower bites to cool slightly before serving. They are perfect with a side of celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Tips:

- Make sure to cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.

- For extra crispy bites, you can bake the cauliflower with a light coat of cooking spray or oil.

- If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of pepper sauce.

- Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance out the spiciness.

- To make the bites gluten-free, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

There you have it—delicious and crispy Buffalo cauliflower bites that are sure to be a favorite at any gathering or as a quick snack. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own for a tasty treat with a spicy kick!
