Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, all-purpose flour, and garlic powder. Whisk until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
